Alliance is the only conference in higher education that the widest cross-section of your staff can attend together - and get role-specific programming, while saving the department money.

Here are 7 reasons you can’t afford NOT to
put Alliance 2025 on your team calendar.

1 | Boost THEIR Morale

Let’s face it, 2024 was not an easy year for your staff. Sending them for 2-3 days to New Orleans with their peers, inspirational speakers, and hands-on learning sessions will go a long way to boost morale.

2 | Grow THEIR Peer Community

We’re 35,000 members strong with 100,000+ loyal attendees over the years. Your team will find their “birds of a feather” here to collaborate with, at the conference and when they’re back on campus.

3 | Increase Staff Retention

It’s getting harder and harder to attract and retain top quality talent in higher ed. This relatively small investment shows your staff that they are valued, and ensures they’ll stay with you—even when the recruiters call.

4 | THEIR Professional Development

This year we are introducing certification tracks, where your team can return to campus energized and refreshed, but also upskilled with verifiable credentials to show in areas like AI, Project Leadership, IT Operations and more.

5 | Fill Their Tank

Our keynotes this year are just the start to a multi-day experience we are designing to encourage and empower your team for the hard work ahead. Send them to spend a few days with us, and we promise to send them back - ready for action.

6 | Reduce YOUR Consulting Costs

Our past attendees consistently report that the skills they picked up at the Alliance Conference allowed them to do more, with less. From SIS hacks and point system workarounds, to insights that consultants charge $200-400 per hour for, you’ll save tens of thousands of budget dollars each year.

7 | Make it A Team Retreat

Join our C-Suite track so that as your people are learning you are building your leadership muscle. Then, each evening you and the staff can gather to build relationships, ideate, and innovate for the future in a great destination like New Orleans.
