We’re excited to open submissions to our Higher Ed Communications Leadership Roundtable hosted by The University of Pittsburgh.
This Roundtable will be held Feb. 20–21, 2019 and is available to 20–25 qualifying internal and external communications professionals in higher education.

What can you expect?
The Roundtable is a two-day commitment. Its purpose is simple: to benefit your career and your organization. Though the discussion is free-flowing, we set an agenda based on a short online survey sent to attendees. The survey gives us an idea of what’s on everyone’s mind.
Evening activities, in which attendees mingle and network with peers and industry leaders, complement the daily agenda. Shortly after the Roundtable ends, you’ll get a detailed set of notes taken by one of our Ragan editors in attendance. Our house scribe allows you to pay full attention and contribute your thoughts to the discussion without the distraction of notetaking.
We call it a combination of group therapy, benchmarking, idea sharing and networking.
Why so exclusive?
Since the discussion centers on the experiences of the participants, it’s vital that our attendees have seen enough success and failure to support a strong discussion.
Who’s attending?
Past Leadership Roundtables have hosted participants from nearly every industry. Many attendees lead large teams, but others come from teams of one or two communicators.
Our main concern is to find experienced, talented persons for a high-level discussion between peers. We encourage those who fit this description to apply.

- University of Chicago Medicine
- Meredith College
