He studied for his doctorate (PhD) at Duke University in the United States, before lecturing in economics at Sydney University from 1961 to 1975.

Following his retirement as Administrator, Conn became foundation chairman of Original IT Investments Pty Ltd,[4] an information technology incubator. From 2001 to 2004 he was deputy chairman and lead independent director of the publicly listed company International All Sports Ltd.

Conn lives in Sydney with his wife Lesley (died 2021 according to NT News) , a Member of the Order of Australia and Dame of the Order of Saint John.[5] Dr and Mrs Conn have three children.

Conn was appointed a Deputy Prior of the Order of Saint John in Australia in 1997, before serving as Chairman of St John Ambulance Australia from 2004 to 2007.

At the 2007 St John Ambulance Australia National Priory Conference, he was nominated as Chancellor of the Priory of Saint John in Australia, replacing Professor Villis Marshall.

In 2014, Conn was promoted as the Lord Prior of the Order of Saint John, becoming its most senior non-royal figure.[6] He was succeeded by Sir Malcolm Ross in 2016.
