Connect on What Matters Most to You
EDUCAUSE Commons (formerly the Exhibit Hall)

Make plans to see the exhibitors showcasing their products and services at this year's in-person experience. The EDUCAUSE Commons features exhibitors who specialize in providing the latest campus technology solutions for the higher education community. In addition to exhibits, numerous networking and learning opportunities take place in EDUCAUSE Commons.
Networking Opportunities

These will come in a variety of formats, including informal meet-ups, career coaching, mentoring opportunities, facilitated discussions, community group meetings, meet-ups, Braindates, and more.
EDUCAUSE Leadership Series | Exploring Artificial Intelligence Use Cases, Applications, and Initiatives in Higher Education
Formerly known as the Hawkins Leadership Roundtable
Higher education institutions are beginning to form and deploy their artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives at all organizational levels. In this leadership series, we’ll closely examine several institutions’ diverse applications of agentic, generative, and embedded AI. Additionally, participants will discuss related topics at their tables: ethical considerations, best practices, successful implementations, research applications, learner support, and other strategies for leveraging the potential of AI to enhance the quality and accessibility of higher education.
Diana G. Oblinger Innovation Forum
Innovation is at the core of the EDUCAUSE mission to lead the way, advancing the strategic use of technology and data to further the promise of higher education. We connect and empower our member community through insights, advocacy, resources, and learning opportunities to anticipate trends and strengthen professional practice. Each year, we highlight opportunities for attendees of our annual conference that reflect our commitment to bring innovative ideas and experiences to our members.
Executive Career Coaching
Career Coaching sessions are complimentary, one-on-one career development meetings. These sessions are open to senior managers/directors, and to those aspiring to, and in, executive positions. These confidential sessions are facilitated by professional coaches in both face-to-face and virtual formats. Face-to-face sessions will be during the conference and virtual sessions will occur after the conference concludes.
