The 2026 Graduate Education Summit brings together faculty, staff, and campus partners who support graduate education for a day of professional development, collaboration, and idea exchange.

As graduate education continues to evolve, the 2026 Summit provides an opportunity to explore innovative, research-informed, and experience-based practices that strengthen the graduate student experience and promote student success. Through keynote presentations, concurrent sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, participants will engage with colleagues from across the Institute while sharing ideas and practical approaches to today's most pressing opportunities and challenges in graduate education.

This year's theme, Advancing the Graduate Ecosystem Through Collaboration: Embracing AI, Expanding Global Engagement, Promoting Affordability, and Increasing Accessibility, highlights collaborative approaches to supporting graduate students through responsible artificial intelligence, global engagement, affordability, accessibility, and strategic partnerships that enhance graduate education.

Whether you work in graduate admissions, student services, academic affairs, faculty development, advising, or research administration, the Graduate Education Summit offers valuable insights, practical strategies, and meaningful connections to help strengthen graduate education at Georgia Tech.

Presented by: Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Education, Center for Teaching and Learning, College of Lifetime Learning, Graduate Student Government Association, and Student Engagement and Well-Being.
