Save the date: 6-November, 2026
This is our 20th Anniversary! To celebrate, we are returning to our roots (to some extent) – we are focusing on student excellence. For that, we need… students! So we are moving this from June (when students vacate!) to November.
The theme for this year is AI-Powered Project Management, with our usual tracks on Leadership, Tech, and Strategy.
Eventbrite registration and program schedule will be available shortly.
Stay Tuned
We’ll be revising this site with updates on the location, which will be either our amazing Center for Computing and Data Science (aka the ‘Jenga building’) or the amazing location of our own headquarters at 1010 Commonwealth Avenue.
