Conference Information
Thank you for your interest in the 2022 UNICON Director’s Conference hosted by Cornell University at Cornell Tech. We look forward to reconnecting as a UNICON Director group to discuss some of the changing elements of the University Executive Education industry. The workshop will be held in person at the Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island, New York as well as virtually through the Zoom platform for this hybrid workshop.
For the Hybrid attendees, we will be broadcasting our all the plenary sessions virtually. For breakout sessions that are done as part of the conference in-person, we will arrange for breakout sessions through Zoom during these times of the conference.
Given the uncertainty in travel and to maximize engagement we are offering these two attendance options for this conference. The workshop will feature a combination of thought leadership sessions, group breakouts for application, group-based exercises, and also participant networking sessions.
