About this conference

In an era of disruption, convergence is how institutions move from either/or to both/and. 'Convergence' invites us to gather people, programs, partners, and places into intentionally aligned ecosystems—innovation districts that fuse academia and industry, blended academic structures that span disciplines, public–private partnerships that unlock delivery and financing, and campus–community networks that elevate student success and regional prosperity. Inspired by Arizona State University’s approach to innovation, convergence is not a one-time project but a planning mindset: braiding missions, assets, and incentives to produce win–win–win outcomes—for students, faculty, and staff; for institutional sustainability; and for surrounding communities and economies. As campuses face pressures—from enrollment concerns, aging infrastructure, financial pressures, climate risk to affordability, and AI’s rapid evolution—innovative integrated planning becomes a vehicle to converge strategy, space, finance, operations, and partnerships. The result: resilient, human-centered environments that catalyze learning, discovery, and belonging.
