Event Description

Building on the success and insights from 2023 event attendees, the 2024 Summit for Online Leadership and Administration + Roundtable (SOLA+R) and Distance Teaching and Learning (DT&L) Conference are once again co-located to create a comprehensive, holistic, and unique opportunity for digital learning innovators to learn and network in one location. We willl celebrate the 40th Anniversary of DT&L and look forward to the next 40 years of innovation and transformation in beautiful Minneapolis, MN.

Digital teaching and leadership is integral to the financial stability and access mission of today’s institutions. These two events blend the pedagogical perspectives, best practices, thought leadership, and strategy that institutional leaders need to embrace digital transformation in post-secondary education.

Attendees will have the opportunity to experience all the elements of digital transformation and leadership in a holistic way—from teaching and learning to leadership and administration—preserving the salient issues for two distinct professional communities, while catalyzing dialogue across all facets of the larger field.

Join key campus leaders – presidents, provosts, deans, instructional designers, faculty, and others focused on digital leadership, July 22 - 24, 2024.

Affiliated Events Policy
The association has gone to great lengths and expense to negotiate and contract for a reduced room rate at conference hotels. That rate is based upon the projected attendance at the meeting. If corporate member and nonmember attendees elect to stay at other hotels, it subjects the association to attrition penalties that can cause significant financial loss to the association. We count on our corporate community to support the association, and one of the ways to do that is to honor our efforts to secure a sufficiently large room block at a reduced rate at a first class hotel/conference venue.   

For these reasons, corporate member and nonmember attendees are prohibited from holding any meetings (briefings, seminars, etc.) within a 25-mile radius, targeting professional, continuing, and online leaders in higher education during the scheduled hours of UPCEA events unless otherwise negotiated and scheduled with and by UPCEA. Any such meeting occurring within 36 hours before or after the UPCEA conference must be coordinated with UPCEA and, space permitting, be held at the conference hotel.  This policy helps ensure that the association’s contracted obligations to the hotel for guest rooms and food and beverage minimums are met, which is essential for the financial health of the association and its members. If UPCEA cannot find space for the corporate member or nonmember attendee’s event at the contracted hotel, we will work to help find alternative space.  In no circumstances, however, is it permissible for a corporate member or nonmember attendee to contract a separate hotel block, either at the conference hotel or elsewhere. 

UPCEA reserves the right to prohibit corporate member and nonmember attendees who violate this policy from exhibiting or participating at UPCEA events.
