As Eduventures Summit 2026 gets underway in Chicago, we are inspired by the conversations taking shape all around us: the importance of personalization; the power of storytelling; and the importance of ethical AI continue to fuel discussions, debate, and deliberation.
Today’s lineup will shine a light on these very real and challenging complexities facing higher education. Kindra Hall will lay the foundation with an opening keynote on how institutions can captivate prospective students. Richard Garrett will examine online learning as a strategic asset, while Kim Reid will share the latest insights into how today’s high school seniors are navigating the enrollment journey. Richard Kahlenberg will chart a future path for affirmative action, and we will end Day 1 with a thought-provoking discussion from Michael Horn on AI’s impact on teaching, learning, and workforce readiness.
And that’s just the beginning.
Eduventures Summit continues to be a place where research meets practice, where assumptions are challenged, and where leaders come together to gain the insights and clarity needed to navigate an increasingly complex landscape.
For those unable to join us in Chicago this year, we hope you’ll follow the conversation and keep Summit on your radar for future years.
There's also still time to join us later this summer at the Encoura + RNL National Conference, July 21-23 in Chicago. We have 100 sessions on marketing, recruitment, student success and more. It's a great opportunity to find more insights and inspiration to help you continue your vital work in higher education.
