SUMMARY:The Next Chapter: A Conference for Higher Ed Professionals Navigating Institutional Change and Personal Transition
DESCRIPTION:About the Conference \nYou didn’t choose the never-ending CHANGE.\nBut you DO get to CHOOSE what comes next.\nHigher education is in the middle of one of the most significant periods of change in its history. Budgets are shifting. Roles are disappearing\, merging\, and being reinvented. The institutions that many of us dedicated our careers to look different than they did five years ago — and they will look different again five years from now. \nThe Next Chapter is a conference built for the people living through that reality — the people in the middle of it figuring out what to hold on to\, what to let go of\, and what to start building. \n“What is changing around you right now that you did not choose?” \nThat’s the question we start with. And it opens up something most professional conferences never make room for: an honest conversation about what institutional change actually feels like – and what it takes to lead\, adapt\, and move forward with intention. \n\n\nWho This Is For \nYou belong in this room.\n \n\n\n🎓\nFaculty & Staff\nNavigating change at your institution \nQuestioning what your role looks like now — and what it could become. \n\n\n🏛️\nAdministrators\n& Leaders\nDriving transformation from within \nCarrying the weight of change while living through it personally. \n\n\n🧭\nBuilders &\nExplorers\nAlready building something new \nA consulting practice\, a nonprofit\, a side venture or still figuring out what that is. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou don’t need to have it figured out. \nYou just need to be willing to start the conversation. \n\n\n\n\nWhere \nWe are coming to New Orleans. 🎷\n\n\n\nVenue \nThe Saint Hotel \nNew Orleans\, Louisiana \n\n\n931 Canal St\nNew Orleans\, LA 70112 \nGet Directions → \n\n\n\n\nDate \nNovember 4–5\, 2026 \nNew Orleans\, Louisiana \n\n\nDay 1 — Nov 4\nPre-Conference: Leadership Workshop + VIP Experience + Opening Plenary \nDay 2 — Nov 5\nConference and Networking Event · Open to all attendees \n\n\n\n\nNew Orleans is more than a backdrop – it’s a city that knows something about reinvention. We couldn’t think of a better place to talk about what comes next. \n\n\n\n\nWhat to Expect \nTwo days of work that matters.\nDay 1 opens with a VIP Leadership Experience — an intimate\, facilitated workshop for up to 30 leaders driving institutional change. The afternoon brings all attendees together for an opening plenary and evening reception. \nDay 2 is the full conference and networking event: plenary sessions\, breakout tracks\, peer working sessions\, and dedicated time for 1:1 consultation with coaches.
