Leading AI innovation. Empowering higher education.

 

Higher education is undergoing a rapid transformation. AI is changing the way we interact with students, parents, alumni, donors, and colleagues across campus. Changes in the market are shifting how students search for campuses and programs of study, what they need to succeed and graduate, and what will motivate them to give back. All of this poses challenges for engaging your audiences, making the right data-informed decisions, and achieving your goals for enrollment and fundraising.

That’s why the 2024 RNL National Conference program is so vital. You will explore the innovations and solutions that will help you do more with less, uncover your greatest opportunities for success, and interact with higher ed professionals and experts who will share their strategies for success.
