Mark your calendar for our Lifetime Learning Symposium on October 6-8, 2025.

Since 2017, the Affordable Degrees at Scale Symposium has served as the preeminent platform to address higher education’s most pressing topics by bringing together thought leaders to collaboratively explore and innovate. 

Following the September 2024 establishment of the Georgia Tech College of Lifetime Learning, we will pivot the Symposium to be consistent with the goal of the new College. This expands our scope on current trends, strategies, and challenges both for today and as we look to the future. 

Attendees will explore best practices and research that enable institutions to focus on lifetime learning by creating, growing, and sustaining a variety of affordable programs, whether these are at-scale degree or non-credit programs, stackable certificates, or micro-credentials. Additionally, we will consider access to quality, impactful learning across the entire arc of one’s lifetime.

One of the core benefits of this Symposium is its ability to facilitate candid, meaningful conversations through a dynamic convergence of participants. The Symposium offers a unique opportunity for networking with educators and technologists from institutions across the higher education landscape. 

Early Bird Registration will run from June 30 through September 5, 2025. We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta this fall!
