Why Attend

We believe higher ed can't afford to ignore the power of artificial intelligence.

Today’s students expect seamless, 24/7 support, but limited staffing and complex data make it hard to keep up. AI bridges this gap, offering scalable solutions for personalized, proactive communication that keeps students engaged, enrolled, and thriving.

From hands-on workshops to top-notch speakers, join us for a seriously engaging line-up that will transform how your school engages with students. See what last year's sessions were all about and get ready to:

• Learn from industry thought leaders
• Build a high-performing team
• Explore AI + the latest tech innovations
• Connect with a national network of higher ed professionals
