Welcome to The DLV Student Advancement Collaborative 2026 Conference!
Tired of conferences and sessions that could have been an email?
Join us on Friday, November 6th, 2026, for a reimagined, member-driven conference event experience that puts you at the center.
Guided by 15 founding DLV/SAC members and Collegiate Empowerment, this event intentionally leaves behind the traditional "sit-and-listen" schedule. Instead, we have developed a collaborative experience with built-in networking, workgroups, and a variety of session types to amplify your learning preferences. Whether you want an energized training, breakout discussions, community coaching, or small group roundtables, you will leave feeling inspired, empowered, prepared, and actually cared for.
This is a +1 experience. Your greatest opportunity while attending is collaborating with regional schools and orgs—especially from your own school/org. We don't get by in this world without the guidance and support from others, so we're making the advance assumption that you already know that. Don’t choose to attend alone. We’re doing everything we can to discourage solo attendance.
OUR SIGNATURE PHILOSOPHY
We are not merely putting together a learning schedule. We are designing an experience where people leave feeling inspired, empowered, prepared, and cared for.
A MEMBER-DRIVEN COLLABORATIVE
The 2026 conference is guided by 15 founding DLV/SAC members (Higher Ed professionals) and staffed by Collegiate Empowerment (CE) to ensure a great experience for everyone.
Register now so we can launch the DLV/SAC experience on Friday, November 6th
We'll focus on strategic networking, hot topics, and an integrated experience.
One of the DLV/SAC values is being Transparent. Our minimum headcount for Normandy Farms is 85.
