Learn With Us
Throughout the year UEDA hosts webinars, symposia, and our Annual Summit that supports the organization’s mission and member goals. Industry experts and UEDA members share their knowledge and expertise during these collaborative sessions, so whether you would like to learn or lead you will find something of interest.
Annual Summit
UEDA brings together thought leaders from across the country to share ideas and best practices in university economic development.
Our 2018 summit will address how higher education ecosystems function as engines of economic change, and we welcome Dr. Joseph E. Aoun, president of Northeastern University, as our keynote speaker.
Webinars
Throughout the year, UEDA hosts webinars to touch on a number of topics that will help higher education institutions create and implement economic development initiatives. Members typically have access to all UEDA webinars at no charge.
Regional Symposia
The heart of UEDA is connection and collaboration, so we host regional symposia across the country at various intervals to complement the momentum we build as a group at the Annual Summit. Topics and cost for the symposia vary.
