Guide to 2023 Higher Ed Admissions & Enrollment Management Conferences

We at Enrollment Builders love in-person networking events. We're so glad that most higher ed organizations are hosting their admissions and enrollment management conferences in 2023.

Now, almost three years after the COVID-19 pandemic shut down everything, it's starting to feel like "normal" again. We are grateful that conferences have mostly returned to business as usual.

Last year we compiled a short guide to admissions and enrollment management conferences and sent it to our clients. We received such a positive response that we wanted to make it even more comprehensive and share it with more people, earlier in the year. 

Because it's never too soon to begin planning, we're excited to publish our Guide to 2023 Higher Ed Admissions & Enrollment Management Conferences.  Use the information here to map out the conferences you hope to attend. 

You can also access a Google Sheet version here. Just click on the link, MAKE A COPY of the Sheet, and start using it. 

Bookmark this page and use it throughout the year. We will update it as more information is published from the organizations. 

We hope to see you at a conference in 2023!
