But the skills we need, the ways in which we collaborate, and the very jobs available to graduates are changing. It’s time for higher education to start anew. It’s time for Commencement into a new era. Join us for a detailed insight into Joe’s new book and how you can help to seize the moment to change higher education forever.

Virtual interaction is popular but nothing can replace the live in-person interactions at a physical conference and feedback has always focused on the value of the personal relationships made with one another.
