Virtually Together:
2020 UPCEA Central Region Conference

September 30- October 2, 2020

Exciting news: All five of our 2020 UPCEA Regional Conferences this fall will now be fully virtual AND are now free of charge to our members! Choose one or all five regions in this new conference experience—Virtually Together: 2020 UPCEA Regional Conference Series. All are open and complimentary for members this year. Gather your team and join us!

Though we won’t be together in person, you’ll have opportunities to engage in peer-led sessions, hear from a terrific line-up of keynote speakers, recognize and connect with award recipients, and network with peers. You will also have plenty of opportunities to connect with companies providing the services and solutions you need.

Conference dates will stay the same; times will shift slightly as we prepare for this new conference experience. Our complimentary Regional Conferences are available exclusively to UPCEA members that renew for 2020-21.

Welcome!

The past few months have presented unprecedented challenges for not only higher education but for the world as a whole. From adapting to online learning, working remotely to the ever-evolving budget constraints and the unknown. We as the Central Region need to lean on each other more than ever. Now is the time for institutions to be proactive, flexible, nimble and adventurous! The way we do this is by learning and collaborating together.

The Central Region is stronger and more vibrant then ever and at this year’s Virtually Together: 2020 UPCEA Central Region Conference, we will showcase just that! In the region, we are tackling the idea of a virtual conference head on while looking at ways to share knowledge, collaborate, push boundaries and still have fun together.

I encourage each of you to attend the virtual conference (FREE for UPCEA members) and tackle this new frontier with the Central Region committee. I can assure you it will be worth your time!

Very Best,
