We are excited to bring our 2026 UPCoP Conference to Lawrence, Kansas hosted by our friends at Jayhawk Community Partners.

Once again, UPCoP will be bringing together higher education partnership practitioners to address the evolving needs of campus partnerships, as well as navigating new approaches related to revenue generation and emerging trends.

Each year, our attendees share their favorite experiences and what they look forward to most, including:

• Introductory or “101” Sessions on Partnerships and the UPCoP organization

• Welcome Reception to reconnect with colleagues

• Shared best practices

• Lively discussions and Q&A with partners and presenters

• Partner Success Panel featuring our host university’s featured partners

• Networking Dinner to dig deeper on hot topics with colleagues

• UPCoP Schools Annual Meeting

And for 2026, attendees can expect some midwestern hospitality at the newly reimagined David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium and newly developed Gateway District. UPCoP looks forward to welcoming back several exciting sponsors, who are bringing:

• Unique additions to registration

• Exciting activations

• Best-in-class case studies

Member schools continue to shape the agenda by identifying topics that could strengthen their campus initiatives. UPCoP complements these efforts by offering:

• Breakout Sessions to talk through Governance, Revenue Allocations and more

• Use of Technology for Fulfillment and Renewals

• Socializing Partnerships and Executive Buy-In

• Leveraging Data For Campus Decision-Making

We look forward to the continued growth of UPCoP and our conference. Register today, and we’ll see you in Lawrence!
