EVENT DETAILS

What is the Leadership on Broadway Experience?

APCA’s annual Leadership on Broadway Experience is an immersive event focused on 1) Professional Development for Student Life Professionals and Advisors of Student Organizations, and 2) Development and Training for Student Leaders in the realm of personal and professional leadership, organizational skills, and campus engagement. The conference is widely recognized as a national resource for support of institutional engagement and retention efforts in Higher Education.

Who can attend?

The event features separate educational and interactive experiences for both Student Life staff and student boards. All delegates completing attendance requirements are eligible for APCA certification of training.

Where is the event held?

The experience is held in New York, NY in the heart of the Broadway district. Our conference lodging and event facility is the Marriott Marquis in Times Square. The atmosphere is energizing and electric, making this a unique location to host training for campus engagement planning and execution.

Why Times Square?

The theater district (and Times Square in particular) is a strong demonstration of engagement by immersive, inclusive community activities programming. Their marketing and community engagement techniques will be taught to attending institutional delegates. Using the success of Broadway as a guide, the experience helps to develop a clearer vision for creating an atmosphere of culture, traditions, and engaging programming on campus. The resulting effect on engagement and retention programmers is profound.

Why do we include a Broadway Show?

Many Broadway shows contain meaningful themes and learning outcomes that are relevant to campus life. The experience is centered on how attendees can produce purposeful programs with inclusive themes as a guide. That’s why attending a show and analyzing the relevant messages conveyed are a central part of the experience. The cost of the show ticket is included in the delegate fee.

What topics will be covered?
