History
The TEMC has its origins with the Australasian Institute of Tertiary Education Administrators (AITEA). The first AITEA conference was held in 1977 on the dual themes of National Policies in Higher Education and Education as a Profession. Conferences were held annually by ATEM since then until 1992, when the then Australasian Association of Higher Education Facilities Directors (AAAPA) became a partner in running the conference, which became known as the ATEM and AAPPA Conference. In 2004, the title of the Conference was changed to the Tertiary Education Management Conference to reflect the focus of the conference rather than the two host associations.
