The Association of Collegiate Conference and Event Directors recently released the schedule for their 2011 annual conference. This conference is a must if you are a housing, professional and continuing education, or university conferencing professional.

This year’s conference will be held in Orlando, Florida, March 27 – 30, 2011.

I’ve been invited to present an advanced institute session as well as a concurrent presentation. Building the Ultimate Conferencing Sales Machine is a day long session institute program. I will be talking about a pragmatic approach to planning, executing and managing a successful business development plan for conferencing.

I’m also presenting Hidden Causes to Common Conferencing Marketing Problems. In this session, I will discuss the hidden causes to common conferencing marketing problems and strategies to fix them.

Hope to see you in Orlando!

The hot topic around many admission offices and here in Raleigh this week is the impact the current economic situation will ultimately have on students’ college selection process (and ultimately college enrollment numbers in the fall). Several sessions already have provided insight into this area with research from a variety of sources (focus groups and polls of prospective students). Both Creosote Affects and Royall and Co. reported that the economy is, in fact, having a pretty significant impact on how students are selecting a college this year. Consider the following:

  • Just short of 40% of students reported that they would be limiting the number of campuses they’ll visit as they make their decision (Royall)
    • 11% reported they would not be making any visits to colleges.
  • Students are applying to, on average, ten institutions (Creosote).
  • 26% more students plan to stay in the home state for college than in years past (Royall)
  • 57% of students indicate that they are considering less prestigious schools because of financial concerns about not being able to afford their top choice (Creosote)
  • Two-thirds of parents indicated they either have or plan to negotiate with colleges when it comes to scholarship and financial aid awards (Creosote)
