Next Wave Conference
The Next Wave offers focused, collegial opportunities for leaders to come together and explore current trends, often in technology and the commercial web, and to look to the future of higher education.
Leaders at our partner organizations are invited to join us at The Next Wave, our annual invitational event where we gather to understand the landscape, develop strategies, and find ways to collaborate and to thrive.
We invite you to read about and watch recordings from Next Wave 2025.
For questions about this event or ideas for our 2026 program, please reach out to Heidi McGregor, ITHAKA’s VP, Communications.
