The 2025 Lifetime Learning Symposium offers a unique opportunity for candid and meaningful conversations with educators and technologists from institutions across the higher education landscape. Sessions focusing on value, affordability, alternative credentials, and research will offer fresh ideas and actionable strategies for supporting learners from kindergarten to post-retirement. 

Since 2017, Georgia Tech has hosted higher education leaders at the Affordable Degrees-at-Scale Symposium, providing a platform to engage in candid, meaningful conversations about trends, strategies, and challenges. With the establishment of the College of Lifetime Learning, this year’s event will expand in scope while remaining a dynamic convergence around higher education's most relevant and pressing topics. 

As individual, governmental, and societal expectations for education continue to evolve, institutions — from early childhood to professional development — are being asked to make learning more accessible, affordable, and impactful. 

This year, the symposium is building on the momentum of previous years with more sessions and topics, focusing not just on access and affordability but also on how the field of lifetime learning can serve as a guiding framework for learning and the future of education.

Georgia Tech faculty and staff are able to attend the full conference at a discounted rate of $300: Register to attend.
