2026 DC Postsecondary Success Summit: Resiliency in Action

Join us on Friday, March 27th, 2026 at Trinity Washington University's Main Hall for the 2026 DC Postsecondary Success Summit: Resiliency in Action! This year’s Summit invites DC’s education, workforce, and community partners to meet the moment together. Amid shifting policies, emerging technologies, and changing resources, we are gathering to strengthen collaboration, support our learners, and build a more connected and equitable postsecondary ecosystem. Our vision is simple: no matter the uncertainty around us, DC’s learners should have clear pathways, coordinated support, and adults who are ready to lead with purpose.

Our third annual one-day conference is open to any and all who work in postsecondary success. This could include professionals in K-12 education, nonprofits, workforce development, higher education, research and policy, government, philanthropy, and more. Our hope is that everyone can learn something new and share something important.

Snapshot of the Day

Our summit will feature two plenaries at the beginning and end of the day with theme-based breakout sessions in between. There will be a resource fair over lunch featuring postsecondary programs and opportunities. We will provide breakfast, lunch, and coffee! Look out for the full conference agenda in early February.

Ticket Details

Summit registration opens in early January. This year, to support the Collaborative with the cost of putting on the Summit, our tickets will be $50 plus a few dollars in fees. While the ticket fee helps make the Summit possible, we hope to ensure everyone who wishes to attend is able to join us. Ticket fees will be waived for up to three selected session presenters and resource fair tabling organizations. We also offer a group ticket discount.

If the ticket cost presents a barrier to your participation, please reach out to us.

We can't wait to learn with you on March 27th, 2026!
