Event Description

In Real Life: Where Partnerships Power Programs and Innovation brings together educators and partners to explore how collaboration drives meaningful program and pathway development. This event features speakers recognized for innovative programs, along with breakout sessions on program design, feasibility and evaluation, and AI for adult learners. A panel and Q&A will offer opportunities to hear directly from innovators, exchange ideas, and reflect on how partnerships turn bold concepts into impactful learning experiences—in real life.

Join your UPCEA regional colleagues for an engaging and informal Salon experience designed to spark connection, conversation, and shared learning. These virtual, live sessions bring together professionals from across the region to explore timely topics in a relaxed, discussion-forward environment. Designed by the region, for the region, Salons are open to all.

Each Salon features brief insights or “spark” perspectives to kick things off, followed by interactive peer conversations where participants can exchange ideas, challenges, and practical strategies. The emphasis is on learning from one another, not just from a single speaker. Salons are intentionally live and not recorded to create a welcoming, candid space where participants feel comfortable asking questions, sharing experiences, and building meaningful connections with regional peers.

Whether you are looking to expand your network, gain fresh perspectives, or contribute your own insights, the UPCEA Regional Salon offers an approachable and valuable way to stay connected to your community.
