Testimonials from APAC Summit 2025

"The Explorance APAC Summit 2025 was an insightful event about feedback and analytics in higher education. It offered a great platform to exchange ideas, learn best practices, and connect with peers who are passionate about driving meaningful change in feedback and engagement."

Asta Tan, Survey and Reporting Analyst at University of South Australia

"This event is great for really digging into the fundamental questions about why we’re conducting surveys, how we conduct, and what we do with them."

Ryan Duckett, Manager, Evaluations and Analytics at Swinburne University of Technology

"I can't remember attending a conference that left me with such an optimistic view for the future of higher education.
