Hackathon

Embark on a transformative journey at the Innovation Summit, where you'll encounter groundbreaking ideas poised to make a substantial impact on both your career and institution. Immerse yourself in a dynamic hackathon—a powerhouse of networking, learning, and collaboration with institutional peers. Together, we'll navigate the intricacies of AI challenges and opportunities specifically tailored to higher education, creating a collaborative space for exploration and innovation. Join us in shaping the future of education through this immersive experience.

Participate as a Team

AI strategy is cross-cutting, so it benefits from an institution-wide approach. EDUCAUSE encourages you to attend the Innovation Summit with a small cross-functional team from your institution. To encourage diversity of thoughts and experiences, we ask that no more than three individuals from any institution attend this event.
