North Atlantic 2026 Regional Conference

Higher education is navigating declining enrollments, shrinking funding, and rising public mistrust. In this environment, integrated planning isn’t optional—it’s essential. The SCUP North Atlantic Regional Conference will bring together higher education leaders and planners to share how integrated planning is helping institutions confront today’s challenges and prepare for an uncertain future. The true value of this conference is the community—a diverse network of professionals sharing perspectives, experiences, and expertise. Together, participants will explore how integrated planning fosters collaboration across departments and sectors, drives data-informed decision-making, and strengthens institutional resilience. Hartford, Connecticut, offers a dynamic setting for these conversations. Local institutions are demonstrating how campus growth and community revitalization can align to advance both student success and regional prosperity. Be part of the experience—join your peers in Hartford to learn, share, and shape the future of higher education together.
