This premier event brings together community college workforce leaders, government and industry partners, healthcare program directors, and philanthropists from across the nation. Together, we’ll collaborate to strengthen workforce pipelines, enhance fundraising efforts, and close the skills gap—ultimately driving greater opportunities for students.

Attendees will experience hands-on tours of state-of-the-art facilities, including a cutting-edge makerspace, and build lasting relationships that spark business partnerships and innovative collaborations.

Of this event, Mike Moss, CAE, President, Society for College and University Planning (SCUP) shared,

 “The conversations were empowering and your members' willingness to share their experiences is amazing.”
