EAB’s annual IgnitED summit will bring together presidents, provosts, chief business officers, and heads of strategy for presentations from EAB experts and working sessions with peers from other institutions.

2024 attendees noted that convening with peers is a highlight of their EAB partnership:

  • “It was extremely informative, and I loved connecting with colleagues. I will definitely be attending again and bringing more of my team.”
  • “Always good to carve out time away from campus to deep dive into topics with EAB.”
  • “Great event. Incredible info. Wonderful professional staff from support to presenters to leadership.”

Our 2025-2026 series will feature new content from EAB research about your most pressing issues, opportunities to network with peers and colleagues, and time to create action plans to bring new ideas back to campus.
