IgnitED 2027
Partner Event
EAB’s annual IgnitED Summit convenes presidents, provosts, chief business officers, and senior strategy leaders for high-impact presentations from EAB experts and collaborative working sessions with peers from across higher education.
Attendees consistently cite peer exchange and actionable insights as standout benefits of the experience:
- “Truly excellent two days. These sessions provide valuable research to shape our thinking and share with leadership.”
- “This is one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended. I’m leaving with more knowledge, a clearer understanding of available resources, and actionable next steps.”
- “Invaluable time to step away from day-to-day challenges and think more holistically and future-oriented—backed by great data and presentations.”
The 2027 series will feature new research from EAB on your most pressing challenges, dedicated opportunities to engage with peers, and structured time to develop action plans you can bring back to campus.
