Welcome to the 2019 UPCEA Marketing and Enrollment Management Seminar!

December 4-6, 2019
New Orleans, LA

We’re returning to New Orleans in December and staying in the famed Ritz-Carlton Hotel in the French Quarter. The 2019 Marketing and Enrollment Management Seminar (MEMS) will not only feature fantastic content, but the French Quarter offers a veritable feast of varying tastes – world-class food and entertainment, the historic architecture of the French Quarter and a vibrant old-world culture.

It’s not likely that you’re thinking about next December. But, it is very likely that you’re planning your budget for the next academic year, and you’re always thinking about how to increase or support enrollment growth at your institution. Keep the UPCEA Marketing and Enrollment Management Seminar in mind when making your plans

We had a truly great conference last year in Long Beach. How can we tell? A number of participants thought that there was ‘too much’ great content to choose from. Not a bad problem to have. That is one of the benefits of having our colleagues and peers provide the content. They understand our needs.

We hope to see you this December in New Orleans.

Sincerely,
Skip Darmody and Josh McCarthy
Co-Chairs, MEMS Planning Committee
