Our Approach to Services
From our signature Annual Summit to leadership academies, Summer Institute, and webinars, DualWorks events bring educators together to share ideas, strengthen programs, and advance student success.
Annual Dual Enrollment Summit
Where Dual Enrollment Leaders Learn and Connect
This long-running signature event brings more than 700 leaders and educators together to explore strategies that expand student access, enhance educator support, and improve outcomes.
The Annual Summit is a three-day dynamic professional learning experience held each September, designed for dual enrollment practitioners, educational leaders, and partners from across the nation. Attendees can expect inspiring keynote presentations, timely discussions on emerging issues, practitioner-led breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and collaborative learning experiences focused on advancing student success.
In addition to the core conference program, participants may have the opportunity to customize their experience through optional add-on sessions, site visits, Executive Leadership breakouts, and other exclusive offerings available during registration.
