Three events exclusively for college and university presidents and chancellors are on tap during the ACE Experience 2027 (ACEx2027), scheduled for March 2-6 in Washington, DC. Leading off the ACEx2027 week will be the ACE Commission on Faith-Based Colleges and Universities Convening on March 2, which will bring together institutional leaders from across the country to explore how faith-based institutions can play a vital role in fostering constructive, respectful discourse at a national level. As a part of that gathering, there will be a presidents and chancellors only meeting from 12-3 p.m., including a panel on AI and institutional mission and a policy and legal issues update.

The next day, March 3, is ACE on the Hill, a day of advocacy on Capitol Hill reserved for ACE member presidents and chancellors from across the country. This high-level policy engagement event provides a rare opportunity to connect directly with lawmakers, share institutional perspectives, and drive meaningful change.

On March 4, the Presidents and Chancellors Forum, a 2.5-hour session just before the kickoff of the ACE Annual Meeting, will pair expert framing with unfiltered peer dialogue across some of the most significant factors shaping the future viability and fiscal well-being of campuses today: credit and market risks, financial health diagnostics, workforce reductions, mergers and closures, and the real cost of operations. “Navigating the Headwinds: A Candid Forum on Higher Education’s Financial Future,” will not just be a panel of experts talking at leaders; it is a structured dialogue among leaders who are living these challenges in real time.

These programs for presidents and chancellors are designed around the centerpiece of ACEx2027, the ACE Annual Meeting, March 4-6, offering strategic insights into the national and global issues shaping higher education through an array of main stage and concurrent sessions.
