Immediate Takeaways That Make an Immediate Difference
At Engage, you won’t be sitting through theory-heavy keynotes wondering how to apply anything. Every session is designed to send you home with tangible, practical takeaways—stuff you can use the moment you’re back at your desk.
Want to build a chatbot without coding? You’ll get access to ready-to-use AI workflows like custom GPTs designed specifically for higher ed use cases—think handling FAQs, admissions queries, or academic advising with ease. You’ll also get a closer look at modular AI agents like Gemini Gems and Claude-powered assistants that help your team work smarter, not harder.
Need to spark fresh campaign ideas fast? Engage sessions will walk you through AI-driven marketing playbooks already being used by leading institutions. From email sequences to engagement flows, you’ll get templates, examples, and success metrics so you can launch better campaigns with less lift.
Struggling to write effective prompts? You’ll leave with curated prompt libraries—prompt sets that work—tailored to drive personalized student communication, operational efficiency, and content generation. These aren’t vague suggestions—they’re high-impact, battle-tested prompts that your teams can start using right away.
Curious what tools are worth the investment? Partner demos will showcase real solutions in action, giving you a chance to test-drive new technology that plugs into your existing CRM and SIS. From AI-enhanced student engagement platforms to analytics dashboards and content tools, you’ll see what’s possible and what’s working at other schools like yours.
It’s Not Just an Event. It’s a Shortcut to Transformation.
Engage isn’t just about new ideas—it’s about accelerating results. The summit is packed with expert-led sessions from higher ed pros who’ve already done the work. You’ll hear directly from institutions that’ve scaled their operations using AI, improved student conversion, and reimagined student support services without hiring more staff.
And because the agenda is curated for action, every session is built to give you the highest return on your time and money. You’ll leave with AI implementation guides, playbooks for high-performing campaigns, and concrete examples of what success looks like in 2025.
Add in high-impact networking with fellow higher ed changemakers, and you’ve got a summer summit that’s more like a strategy sprint.
The Bottom Line? ROI That’s Immediate and Measurable.
Engage Summit 2025 is the highest ROI event you’ll attend this year because it doesn’t ask for long timelines or massive budgets. It just asks that you show up ready to lead. If you’re serious about implementing AI in a meaningful, strategic way, this is your launchpad.
