Innovating higher education in the digital age

Digital Universities US brought together higher education, industry and policy leaders working at the intersection of academic innovation and technology for three days of new ideas, opportunities and perspectives as we navigate the next phase of digital transformation.

Attendees took part in keynote talks, interactive panel discussions, live demonstrations, intimate discussions, practical workshops, unparalleled networking and much more.

Hosted in partnership with Illinois Institute of Technology, the event presented the challenges and opportunities of building agile, digital-first higher education along with cutting-edge start-ups and ideas that will reshape the future of learning.
