Event Description
Emerging Leaders are UPCEA members who are mid-level professionals who aspire to more senior roles in professional, continuing, and/or online (PCO) higher education. And the upcoming UPCEA Conference is ripe with opportunities to provide Emerging Leaders with avenues in which to develop professionally, engage actively in UPCEA, and to successfully navigate the event itself.
Beginning with a pre-conference, participants take part in a deep dive into leadership skill development. Within the conference, participants are invited to attend sessions tagged “Emerging Leaders,” which means that they are designed to offer skill development in areas critical for senior leadership like strategic planning, innovation, and leading teams. There will also be special opportunities allowing ample time to network with peers and senior leaders. At the end of the event a facilitated capstone session will provide an opportunity to reflect upon the experience, make plans to continue the journey, and to take the next steps to earn a badge that recognizes these achievements.

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.
If you encounter any errors or need assistance with your registration, please contact us at 202-659-3130 or jromero@upcea.edu.
