Share Your Success
Do you have a success story you'd like to share, a proven use case, best practice, or a "lesson learned" that could help your peers? We want to hear from you! The heart of the Summit is the brilliance of our community, and we invite you to submit a proposal to lead (or co-lead) a session that inspires and supports others.
Being a presenter is a fantastic way to build your professional brand and share the incredible work your institution is doing.
The date to submit a proposal has passed. If you intended to submit a session idea, please reach out to your CSM to discuss.
This is not a one-size-fits-all conference—it’s a curated experience designed to help you do your work better and drive the results you need.
Attend role-specific programming tailored to your responsibilities, so every session is relevant to the program or department and work you do every day.
There is no substitute for being in the room. Build lasting relationships with peers in clinical education, student success, and alumni engagement.
Learn product-driven best practices from peer institutions using our solutions to solve real-world challenges and improve program outcomes.
Our sessions aren't just theoretical; they are filled with peer best practices, lessons learned and tactics you can take back to campus and apply immediately.
Discover proven strategies by joining peer-led sessions grounded in real-world use cases and explore success stories from institutions facing similar challenges.
Get an exclusive first look at new features, functionality and product roadmap updates. You’ll see where the technology is headed and have a chance to provide feedback directly to the our product team.
