American Association of University Administrators National Conference 2026

It is held at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, OH.

Early registration costs $450 for AAUA members and $625 for non-members. Student registration costs $100.

University and higher-education administrators attend.

It suits mid-level and senior university administrators who want peer exchange on the conference theme of the higher education value proposition, with speakers including Timothy M. Renick of the National Institute for Student Success and University of Idaho president C. Scott Green. The registration covers meals and a reception at $450 for members and $625 for non-members, which makes it a modest outlay, but faculty or vendors seeking large-scale exhibit access would find less here.

Higher education administrators at national conferences usually wear business casual to business professional, with a jacket or blazer common at the reception.
