2024 EduTech Outlook
The greater Rochester area possesses a strong and engaged collection of higher education institutions. These organizations play an important role in training the future workforce and next generation of leaders. In addition, these educational institutions employ a significant number of people in the region. It is critical for the business community to maintain a close relationship with higher ed, and the EduTech Outlook is an event which provides this opportunity. From updates on projects and initiatives, to identifying emerging workforce trends, this annual event connects businesses and education leaders to discuss collaboration and engagement opportunities between the private and educational sectors.
With the rise in new technologies, the 2024 EduTech Outlook will include speakers on cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. As these technologies become ever more important, hear from experts on how these technologies intersect with both business and higher education.
Join us on Friday, September 27, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., to hear from students and leaders from local higher education institutions about the outlook for higher education in the Rochester region.
