The event description:

Higher education is navigating a period of profound change shaped by evolving public expectations, demographic shifts, economic pressures, emerging technologies, and a dynamic policy environment, and the mission of higher education remains as vital as ever. At the ACE Experience 2027 (ACEx2027), leaders will come together to explore how institutions can adapt with purpose, lead through complexity, and build meaningful solutions for students, campuses, and communities. Across the sector, colleges and universities are already making purposeful shifts that strengthen learner success, respond to workforce needs, support today’s changing student population, and reinforce higher education’s public value.
