The AJCU Marketing and Communications Summit will be held June 4-6 in St. Louis.
Meet us in St. Louis
Saint Louis University is proud to host the 2024 AJCU Marketing and Communications Summit, a three-day-long meeting for Marcom leaders from Jesuit colleges and universities to share best practices, discuss trending topics and plan for collaboration, to be held June 4-6. Participants will also enjoy social events that showcase area landmarks.
Conference Schedule
The conference will begin at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, June 4, and will conclude at noon on Thursday, June 6. A final schedule is coming soon. In the meantime, you can plan on:
- A half-day workshop on Lipman Hearne's Jesuit Branding Project, held jointly with the AJCU enrollment leaders
- A campus tour
- An innovative approach to sharing updates, show-and-tell reports and collaboration with meeting facilitation experts Filament
- Presentations from fellow AJCU leaders
- A fun evening at Topgolf St. Louis
- A visit to a St. Louis landmark
- The annual gift exchange, where each participant brings a wrapped branded item (or bag of small items) from their university to be selected by another conference attendee
- The camaraderie and conversations that make each AJCU Summit so special
Please note: For those arriving on Monday, we are partnering with the AJCU enrollment VP group on a city tour and dinner. If you arrive at the hotel by 5:30 p.m., we hope you'll join us for a trolley tour of St. Louis, followed by a no-host dinner at City Foundry STL. If you are arriving after 5:30 p.m. and still want to catch up with us for dinner, no problem! Dining is just across the street from the hotel, and we'll share the time and location to meet up.
