Free for All Attendees

The whole reason we started OHO U is to share our knowledge and offer a chance for our colleagues in higher ed to receive high quality professional development. Our sessions are curated to meet the most pressing challenges we hear from clients, and we want as many of you to have access as possible — so for the 5th year in a row OHO U is still totally free!

Choose Your Own Path

Rather than one long day, the OHO U Online Conference offers sessions spread over multiple weeks — so you won't get burned out. Each week will focus on a single topic with in-depth presentations and lightning talks that will provide related, real-world case studies. Attendees are free to register for one or for all of the sessions.

October 1 — Thinking Differently

Many of the approaches higher ed marketers have employed for years no longer effectively serve the needs of the institution or meet audience expectations. We will be discussing new ways to consider the university website as a conversion-focused marketing tool.

October 8 - Making Changes

Change has always been a challenge in higher ed — but it is possible. When you center the entities and priorities that need support — whether it is the business of the institution, the needs of end users, or the work of the internal team — we will explore how to make change happen.

October 15 - New Frontiers

Just as so many higher ed institutions pride themselves on being at the forefront of discovery, so too must higher ed marketers be ready to evolve as new technologies and marketing approaches emerge. We will showcase some areas of opportunity, including AI.
