evasys Proud to Be a Gold Supporter at HESPA Annual Conference 2026
At the end of this month, evasys is delighted to be a Gold Supporter of the 2026 HESPA Annual Conference.
We’ll be exhibiting throughout the event on 26th and 27th February at the Hilton London Wembley and delivering a dedicated session, as well as sponsoring the conference dinner and wine.
HESPA brings together the strategic planners and change leaders shaping the future of UK higher education. And right now, one thing is clear: robust survey data and meaningful student feedback have never been more critical.
In a landscape defined by scrutiny, accountability and financial pressure, institutions need more than response rates. Insight, clarity and evidence that can be acted on has never been more important.
Strategic planning depends on meaningful evidence. Meaningful evidence depends on insight. And insight starts with better evaluation.
A sector-leading evaluation and insight platform
evasys is the leading provider of evaluation and insight solutions to UK and Irish higher education.
Our fully integrated, end-to-end survey platform supports institutions across the entire student and staff lifecycle, including surveys relating to module and course evaluation, pre-arrival, First Year Experience, Students’ Union elections, staff surveys and so much more. For sector surveys such as NSS, PTES and PRES, it can be used to analyse and present both quantitative data and qualitative data through AI, and make those available across the institution, for example to Heads of Department and Course Directors.
Powerful, role-relevant dashboards transform complex data into actionable intelligence for planners, faculties, professional services and senior leaders.
And through our partnership with Student Voice AI, we’ve taken open comment analysis to the next level.
Unlocking the power of student open comments
For many institutions, open comments represent the richest – and most under-used – source of insight.
At HESPA, we’re showcasing how AI can turn thousands of free-text responses into structured, strategic evidence.
The Machine-learning:
The results allow institutions to move from anecdote to evidence, from volume to clarity and from reactive to strategic. Our session on Friday 27th February at 11 am will provide further detail, and we are offering a free AI analysis of student open comments for HESPA delegates.

King’s College London’s experience of using AI to gain actionable insights from student open comments
We’re delighted to be joined by Daniel Robson, Associate Director (NSS and PTES Strategy), King’s College London, alongside evasys Managing Director Bruce Johnson, for a 45-minute business session exploring how AI is delivering real impact.
Together, they will:
This is a practical, evidence-based session designed specifically for strategic planners who need to see how insight translates into action.
If you’re wrestling with open comment volume, struggling to evidence themes at committee level, or looking to strengthen institutional narrative around NSS and PTES performance, this session is for you.
From the sector, for the sector
Our senior team have all worked within universities. We understand institutional culture, governance cycles and the realities of committee reporting.
That experience underpins everything we do, from implementation to ongoing support. You can meet the evasys team throughout the conference.
