Digital-first: Access, equity, innovation

Inside Higher Ed and Times Higher Education are excited to convene the third installment of Digital Universities US. The event brings together leading voices on the digital transformation of higher education to discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with a digital-first future.

While the ever-accelerating pace of digital transformation creates innumerable opportunities for students, faculty and staff, it also raises questions on the accessibility and equitability of digital experiences.

Hosted in collaboration with Washington University in St. Louis, Digital Universities US 2024 examines how institutions can break down silos within their own campuses, collaborate with industry and maximize resources to foster a human-centered, digital-first future.

Join us for case studies of digital transformation initiatives, practical workshops, best practice sharing and networking.
