Call for Proposals
July 29–31, 2026 • The Westin Boston Seaport District, Boston, MA
SOLAR is purpose-built for senior leaders, strategists, and online enterprise decision makers who carry responsibility for the planning, scalability, sustainability, and growth of online initiatives. At SOLAR, you’ll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with Chief Online Learning Officers, deans and provosts, directors of digital programs, online administrators, and institutional innovators, all those whose focus is to expand access, deepen mission alignment, and unlock new opportunities.
Boston’s Seaport will serve as the backdrop for a bold, forward-looking exchange, where leaders confront not just pedagogical challenges, but the institutional, financial, strategic, and policy-level levers essential to ensuring that online learning thrives as a mission-driven enterprise.
If you have led (or aspire to lead) strategic change, built or scaled new online/diversified online portfolios, developed new financial models for an online enterprise, or successfully broken through institutional barriers, we want your voice at SOLAR 2026!
