On October 7-9, the 4th annual Vision 2030 Noncredit Summit was held in Newport Beach, California. The 2026 Summit was hosted by Santa Ana College and the Rancho Santiago Canyon Community College District. Nearly 400 people, and one therapy dog, attended, representing 68 different colleges and universities.
Guests attended workshops and panels led by the best and brightest in noncredit education. Continuing Education faculty led several workshops on topics such as AI in the Adult Education Classroom or Advancing Adult Secondary Education and Counseling Services. Guests also got to explore how technology is changing and shaping the future of education in the AI Lab!
We are so grateful to the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, and the many sponsors for their support. A big thank you to all who attended, presented, and volunteered to make this event possible! We’ll see you next year at the 2027 Summit!
