Water Cooler Kick-Off: Bringing Schools and Consultants Together to Launch the Admission Year

When:  Sep 8, 2025 from 01:00 PM to 04:30 PM (ET)

Join fellow admission professionals and independent educational consultants for an informal afternoon of sharing ideas, perspectives, and good company as we kick off the 2025-2026 admission cycle. This is a chance to pause, connect, and reflect on the dynamic landscape of school admissions. From shifting demographics to evolving family expectations around value and cost, we’ll explore the challenges and opportunities we each face in guiding families and shaping school communities. 

Let’s begin the year together - curious, informed, and connected.
