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.
