Looking to build or strengthen your digital skills?

Whatever your role, AEI offers practical strategies to help you streamline processes, enhance engagement, and develop your creative confidence.
Why attend AEI 2026?
Advance your professional practice. Gain hands-on experience with Adobe tools and practical strategies you can apply to enhance teaching, student support, communications, and campus initiatives.
Drive student creativity and engagement. Learn how to embed creative, digital-first approaches that enhance learning and empower student expression across disciplines.
Connect with a global community. Collaborate with peers from partner institutions worldwide, earn badges, and bring fresh ideas to your campus.
Create a brand kit for your team in our upcoming AEI Lab session.
In this practical AEI Lab, you’ll use Adobe Express to create a brand kit made up of colours, fonts, logos, and branded templates. By the end of the session, you’ll have a reusable brand system set up and ready to share with colleagues. You’ll also learn how to use Content Scheduler to plan and publish consistent content across social channels. Brand kits and Content Scheduler are ideal for marketing, brand, and communications teams working across campus.
Get a head start with Adobe Express Content Scheduler.
Join our monthly 30-minute sessions for deep-dive explorations into creative workflows and tools. Here’s what’s next:
1. Plan.
Save ideas as unscheduled posts and create draft posts to plan out your content. Move content around with drag-and-drop ease.
2. Connect.
Save time with automatic publishing by connecting your social accounts to Content Scheduler.
3. Publish.
Preview how your content will look once published and then share it at the perfect time for your audience across multiple social channels.
