Looking for a dashbaord to use in your office, with your Head, or in Board meetings? Something flashy that updates easily, looks beautiful, but doesn't take a FTE away from the work of your office? Come spend the morning with your colleagues learning some advanced tools and strategies that will allow you to leverage Excel (and, in some cases, GoogleSheets) to build those charts and graphs you've seen in other presentations. This is a working session so we'll start from scratch and build up something for your school over the course of the time together. You'll walk away with new ideas and techniques, a template or two to continue to work on back home, and a newfound love of the power of simple spreadsheets. No need to invest the time or energy into something like Tableau or PowerBI, you can do all you want in Excel! This dashboard will have year-over-year comparisons, display selectors to show grade-level details throughout the pipeline, and will give you the skills to build in more data-slicers and filters as you go (like financial elements, DEI elements, regional elements, and others) to make it even more robust and specific to your community.

What systemic change is needed for Independent schools to be the schools of the future? In this session, we will explore the questions enrollment practitioners and administrators need to ask to analyze the state of their schools from mission to marketing, recruitment to retention, and experience to exit. We will explore strategies to embed DEIJB practices into every facet of your school. The session will be led by The Glasgow Group - a Head of School, Assistant Head of School, DEI Directors, Director of Enrollment Management and Financial Aid, and a Dean/Teacher - to model systemic perspectives across the school. The leaders also represent a variety of school types and structures. Attendees should come prepared to explore the inner workings of their own schools, and will leave the session with strategic goals and action steps for systemic change.

Join us for this dynamic workshop designed to revolutionize your approach to enrollment management. In today's rapidly evolving educational landscape, staying ahead requires innovative strategies to drive recruitment and retention. In this immersive A-Z journey, we will explore: 
1) Unleashing the Potential of AI 
2) Navigating the SEO Maze 
3) Fostering a Collaborative Partnership Between Admissions and Marketing 
4) Personalizing the Admissions Process 
5) Mastering Retention Marketing: Crafting an Exceptional Customer Experience 
This comprehensive session will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to transform your enrollment strategies, creating a lasting impact on your institution's success.
