Dear Colleague,

Whether you work directly with students or are a part of shaping the systems they navigate, the 2026 College Changes Everything® (CCE) conference is your opportunity to be part of that conversation, not as a passive observer, but as a contributor, change agent, and student advocate.

Register now and join us as we explore this year's powerful and dual-sided theme: Education Matters.

Education is consequential, transformative and urgent; it is the ladder of opportunity that helps transform lives. And, matters of education – the systems, policies, and barriers – require our attention and collective action.

This year, for our 16th gathering we call upon you to join us, a community of professionals dedicated to improving outcomes for all learners, with intention, commitment, and passion.

Come ready to be challenged, inspired and most importantly, to act.

More information about the conference is available on the conference website.
