Bold Women Collective Networking Event

Wednesday, October 28
5:00 PM – 6:30 PM

Connect with a powerful community of leaders at the Bold Women Collective Networking Event.

Strong leadership is built on trusted relationships—spaces where conversations can happen openly, experiences can be shared, and new perspectives can emerge. For women in leadership roles, cultivating this kind of network is especially valuable.

Join a dynamic group of female leaders to exchange ideas, expand your professional circle, and explore opportunities for growth—both professionally and personally. This dedicated event offers space to build meaningful connections with peers who understand the challenges and opportunities of leadership today.

Be sure to add this event to your itinerary during the registration process.

EDfest

The College Basketball Experience

The EDfest All-Industry Party is a must-attend experience—consistently one of the most talked-about moments of EDspaces.

This year, join us at the iconic College Basketball Experience for an evening designed to bring the entire community together. Connect with peers across education, architecture, design, and industry partners in a relaxed, high-energy setting built for conversation and celebration.

Whether you’re strengthening existing relationships or making new ones, EDfest offers a unique opportunity to engage with the people shaping the future of learning environments—outside the traditional conference setting.
