Fall 2024 BHEF Convening

Revolutionizing the Learn and Work Paradigm

October 10-11, 2024
Washington, D.C.

This is the room where solutions happen.

The Business-Higher Education Forum's semi-annual convenings are the network's premier national gathering. Hosted by our national BHEF member network of C-suite corporate executives and higher education presidents and chancellors, BHEF national convenings connect renowned leaders and experts with rising executive stars and thinkers from across the nation. For more than 45 years, Fortune 1000 CEOs, higher education innovators, US Senators, cabinet officials, and governors, and passionate practitioners and researchers have chosen BHEF convenings as their destination to launch the next big idea in the future of education and work.

BHEF's Fall 2024 Convening will focus on how to build better bridges across learn and work models in emerging and in-demand jobs and skills to better meet the needs of a rapidly changing job market and U.S. population. Corporate executives, higher education administrators, policy leads, funders, and practitioners will share key insights on what makes these models successful and how attendees can collaborate through the BHEF network to take the first steps towards activating or scaling new, promising models.

BHEF's Fall 2024 Convening will tackle questions such as: 

  1. How are businesses changing talent practices and what are the most urgent areas higher education and business need to address?
  2. How can we co-create more effective and inclusive talent pathways that improve student success outcomes with the skills and adaptability for the jobs of the future? 
  3. How can we scale work-based learning and other experiential models? 
  4. What are the critical information action gaps BHEF will address to support business and higher education leaders in the field?
