Massachusetts runs on brainpower. Our colleges and universities generate more than
$70 billion a year and train the workforce our businesses depend on.
Now they face fewer students, federal cuts, visa restrictions and AI disruption. What happens on campus won't stay on campus.
Join us at our biggest business community event of the year for a conversation with higher education leaders about what's changing, what's at stake and what it all means for employers and our region.
