2026 EAB Community College Roundtable

Join us in Washington, DC for our premier in-person roundtable bringing together community college leaders from across the country. This intimate event offers a chance to exchange ideas, share strategies, and engage in candid, executive-level conversations about the most urgent priorities shaping higher education today. Community colleges continue to benefit from strong public trust and renewed enrollment momentum, but the sector is entering a period of heightened accountability and disruption. Policy shifts, financial pressure, and rapid AI adoption are converging to raise the stakes for program value, workforce alignment, and student outcomes. These sessions will focus on how institutions can strengthen industry partnerships and community networks while building more credible, comprehensive approaches to measuring success. We will also be joined by colleagues to walk us through workforce simulations that support students in career development, and we'll have the chance to do some (second) career exploration of our own.
