Mark your calendar and start making your travel plans. Liaison, the leading provider of higher education admissions and enrollment marketing solutions, cordially invites you to the higher education recruitment and marketing event of the year, taking place June 27-28 in downtown Boston at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel.

The 2019 Liaison User Conference will unite the community of admissions, marketing, technology and education professionals dedicated to enhancing the recruitment and enrollment of higher education students across the country and around the world.

Here are five reasons why you shouldn’t miss this annual gathering of the industry’s top minds.

1. You’ll hear renowned thought leaders from a variety of disciplines discussing the hottest topics in higher education.

Given how busy you already are trying to accomplish pressing short- and long-term goals, it can be difficult to get out from behind your desk and fully comprehend the “big picture” challenges and opportunities facing our rapidly evolving industry. Attending the 2019 Liaison User Conference will change that. You’ll gain important insights into the issues that matter most to your institution’s ongoing success. You’ll also walk away with action-oriented strategies you can apply to your job the day you get back to work.

2. You’ll receive hands-on training on game-changing products and technologies.

As you may already know, Liaison’s comprehensive array of innovative products and services specifically designed to serve admissions staff and other higher education professionals have a well-deserved reputation for being intuitive and easy to use. Yet there’s still no substitute for sitting together in a room and learning from the experts who manage them on a daily basis.

With more than 60 basic and advanced training sessions being offered during the 2019 Liaison User Conference, learning opportunities abound for everyone. Whether you’re interested in learning a little — or a lot — more about Liaison’s Centralized Application Service (CASTM), Enrollment Marketing Platform (EMPTM), Time2TrackTM or SlideRoomTM, you’ll gain the skills and experience you need in order to thrive every year. As an added bonus, Continuing Education Units will be available for some training sessions.

3. You’ll network with peers and make meaningful, beneficial connections.

Although you’ll meet professionals from other institutions who may fit the traditional definition of “competitors,” it’s important to remember that we’re all experts with shared goals in a tightly knit community of extraordinarily dedicated professionals. The two days you spend at the 2019 Liaison User Conference will give you an irreplaceable opportunity to create a network of peers that will grow and last throughout your career.

4. You’ll highlight your institution and its commitment to excellence.

Simply attending the 2019 Liaison User Conference will demonstrate your institution’s industry leadership and its unwavering focus on innovation and success. People will want to know more about who you are and about the exciting initiatives taking place in your program or school. The alternative? Staying home. After all, out of sight is out of mind.

5. You’ll be in Boston in June!

June just may be the nicest month of the year in Boston, known around the world as one of America’s most charming and walkable cities. The restaurants, museums, shopping and other attractions will leave you wishing you had more time to explore.

What are you waiting for? Start making plans now to attend the 2019 Liaison User Conference. You’ll be glad you did. So will we!
