Our sessions dive into strategies tailored to colleges and universities. Every session is grounded in the realities of higher education: complex audiences, institutional processes, limited resources, and evolving expectations. You won’t hear any unrelatable private sector brand strategies here; just what actually works on campus.
You’ll hear firsthand from peers who manage social media in higher ed. You’ll learn from colleagues across public and private institutions, large and small teams, and every career stage. You’ll walk away with fresh perspectives, proven approaches, and ideas you can easily adapt to your own campus.
Walk away with real tactics, not just inspiration. Speakers dive into content ideas, workflows, student intern strategies, platform insights, and more. This is professional development designed to make your job easier the moment you’re back at your desk.
A virtual experience that respects your time, budget, and sanity. We ditch the flights and hotels and instead curate high-impact virtual sessions, on-demand access, and a community that understands your role, all from wherever you’re working.
Learn from higher education professionals from across the country who will share the proven social media strategies they use to grow their online communities!
