2026 CampusConnect Session Preview

Charting The Course: 2026 Agenda

CampusConnect 2026 is where higher education leaders, finance teams, and IT experts converge to shape the future of campus commerce. This year’s lineup is designed to be interactive and practical, moving beyond traditional presentations to offer hands-on labs and collaborative challenges. 

While our full agenda is still growing, here is a first look at the sessions you can expect in Annapolis. 

Optimizing the Payment Lifecycle

These sessions are all about modernizing your institution’s operations through automation, revenue identification, and risk management. 

  • Notify “Message that Moves Money” Challenge: Collaborate on how to improve communication timing, automation, and drive measurable engagement for messages to your students.
  • Storefront Revenue Opportunity Lab: Identify underutilized revenue streams, operational friction, and reporting gaps across your campus.
  • Sponsor Billing and Payments “Manual to Modern” Workflow Flip: Reduce manual sponsor billing efforts and identify automation wins with sponsors and sponsored students at your institution.
  • Payments and Fraud “Fraud Risk Heat Map”: Learn how to detect exposure and fraud risks in your office, handle reporting needs and requests in a compliant way, and look for feature gaps that could put your campus at fraud risk. 
  • Workflow Pressure Test: Map out where the billing and payment lifecycle breaks under pressure, and collaborate on ideas for automation and reporting improvements. 

Innovation and the Redesigned Experience

Explore what’s on the horizon in these sessions, including new product designs and government strategies built from your feedback.

  • Events in Storefront: A Whiteboard Session: Walk through current event functionality in Storefront and collaborate on new event functionality that your campus could utilize. 
  • Configuration Consequences: The Domino Effect Game: Learn about systems-thinking to anticipate unintended consequences before they reach students. See how seemingly small technical decisions can create cascading student and payer experience impacts. 
  • ADA Compliance: Review and discuss governance strategies and impacts on operations that ADA compliance is impacting at your institution. 
  • Dynamic Forms: See What It Can do, Help Us Build What’s Next: See how Dynamic Forms can collect any type of information and launch workflows that follow. You’ll also get a sneak peek at the new form designer launching in late 2026, and share your feedback. 
  • Student Refunds: Get a hands-on look at the redesigned Refunds experience, and see how your feedback has helped to shape the product today.

More to Come

We are just getting started. New sessions, client-led discussions, and keynote updates will be added to the lineup in the coming weeks. Stay tuned as we continue to build an experience focused on providing you with unlimited opportunities for your campus.
