Powering Progress at ASPIRE24

"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." 

As a VP of Marketing, I wish I could have written this powerful statement, but alas: George Bernard Shaw beat me to it. Regardless, this sentiment perfectly encapsulates the spirit of ASPIRE24, Ad Astra’s annual conference dedicated to equipping academic operations professionals and leaders with the tools and strategies necessary to foster meaningful progress in higher education.

This year's theme, Powering Progress, reflects our commitment to helping institutions improve student success and navigate the complexities of the modern planning and scheduling landscape. ASPIRE24 features three core tracks: Smart Scheduling™, Scheduling for Student Progress, and Integrating Evidence-based Practices. Led by thought leaders and frontline practitioners, these tracks equip attendees with practical solutions to today’s most pressing challenges.

ASPIRE24 is ideal for leaders of academic affairs, enrollment management, and student success, not to mention registrars and scheduling professionals. Anyone involved in strategic planning and scheduling initiatives will find value in the wide range of sessions. Whether you're seeking to optimize scheduling processes, improve student outcomes, or stay informed about the latest advancements in the industry, this conference offers best-in-class resources and networking opportunities.

At Ad Astra, our mission is to empower higher education institutions with innovative scheduling solutions that optimize resources and enhance student success. We believe that by harnessing data-driven insights, institutions can streamline operations, improve efficiency, and ultimately foster student progression and retention.
