It is scheduled for October 15, 2026.

The summit takes place at City University in Newark, New Jersey.

Its intended audience includes senior IT leaders, technology managers, and academic innovators from higher education institutions.

The organizer identifies higher education institutions as the audience, including senior IT leaders, technology managers, and academic innovators.

It suits CIOs, CISOs and senior technology leaders at colleges and universities in the region who want frank exchange with peers facing similar security and budget questions, since the day is invite-only and covers topics such as AI and digital learning. Vendors and anyone outside higher education would find little here, as Dell Technologies is the only listed sponsor and the audience is restricted to campus IT leadership.

Higher education IT leaders usually wear business casual, such as slacks with a collared shirt or blouse, and a blazer is optional. A campus venue in Newark in mid-October suits a light jacket.
