2021 Equity & Excellence Conference

After more than a year of physical separation, AHEAD is excited to announce its 44th annual conference, Equity & Excellence: Access in Higher Education, as an in-person professional development and networking event. Presenters and participants from diverse fields, including education, technology, law, scholarship, and government will gather in Austin in July. Attendance will be capped 400 to allow for distanced seating and a safe experience. 

For those unable to travel, a virtual conference comprised of select conference presentations be held the week of July 26th. Registration for the Austin conference will include registration for the virtual conference.

The 2021 Program Committee received approximately over 150 proposals for presentation and are excited about the well-balanced, comprehensive program. 

Because we know that many of you will not be able to travel this July, AHEAD is planning a follow-up virtual conference July 26-30. The virtual conference program will include over 35 presentations, opportunities for networking, and presentations by sponsors in our Virtual Exhibit Hall. All Austin registration includes a free registration for the virtual conference.
