2026 Carnegie Conference

Where Higher Ed Moves Forward

Authentic stories. Student-centered strategy. Purposeful innovation. This is the space where marketing, enrollment, and student success leaders come together to shape the future of higher education.

For the first time, we’re proud to intentionally invite Student Success professionals into the heart of this experience—because the student journey doesn’t stop at enrollment. It continues through graduation and into lives of meaning, purpose, and impact.

Education transforms lives, and students transform the world. Join higher education professionals from across the country, alongside expert speakers from adjacent industries, to explore how authentic storytelling, student-centered strategy, and purposeful innovation can shape the future of higher ed.

Together, we’ll wrestle with the big questions:

• How do we tell real, resonant stories of student transformation?
• How can we better bridge recruitment, experience, success, and outcomes?
• How can technology and innovation unlock new opportunities for impact?
• And how must leaders evolve to navigate what comes next?

Whether your focus is attracting future students or supporting them through to graduation and beyond, this is your space to engage, collaborate, and grow.

Expect provocative keynotes, collaborative working sessions, and tangible takeaways to elevate your strategy and your institution.

Student Success professionals: We see you. We need your voice in this conversation. If you believe that student success starts with branding and recruitment, this conference is for you.
