Join us June 4-8 in Clearwater Beach, FL

The Institute for Higher Education at The Beach
Home of The Institute for Strategic Enrollment Management

Where higher ed leaders—and the enrollment and marketing profession—advance.

All substance, tangible takeaways, and groundbreaking insights from other industries.

No vendors, exhibit hall, or sales meetings—this is 100% learning, decompression, and reflection.

For leaders shaping the future of higher ed.

Enrollment’s role in institutional health can’t be overstated, and response to the Institute has been incredible. That’s why we are expanding to five tracks for 2023, serving more professionals who impact enrollment.

Time to learn. Time to breathe. Time to connect.

All three are built into every day. Mornings with inspiring leaders inside and outside higher ed, afternoons to reflect and integrate what you’re learning, evenings for discussions with colleagues. It’s how innovation happens. Ready to join us?

World-class resort. White sand beach. West coast sunsets.

There’s no better setting to gain fresh perspective.

The Institute at the Beach 2023 is at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach
From the spacious sundeck along the sparkling outdoor pool to the third-floor fitness center overlooking the beach and Gulf to soothing treatments at the Pallavi Spa, it checks the boxes for the “decompression” portion of the Institute.

Whether you’re here for “me” time or opt to bring the family, you’ll find plenty to do at the resort and in the surrounding area.

Special institute rates will be available for attendees.
