Education Uncubed is a three-day conference that brings together higher educators, industry experts, entrepreneurs, and hiring employers to best prepare students and alumni for success in the digital economy at startups, innovative companies, and in their own entrepreneurial endeavors.
It is an opportunity for university staff to:
- Learn from - and work directly with - employers to identify needs on both sides, strengthen recruiting efforts, and develop university programming
- Further empower their students and alumni to pursue startup and entrepreneurial careers using university resources and programs
- Meet, work, and develop new best practices with peers from other universities that will better prepare students and alumni for the next generation of work

Day 1 | Oct 17
Deep Dive into Digital Economy Careers
Venue
Rise New York
24 W 24th Street
2nd Floor
New York, NY, 10010
How do you - and how does your school - define phrases like "new economy," "digital economy," "future of work," "startup," and "entrepreneurship"? Unfortunately, the variability of these definitions when identifying tomorrow's careers impacts goals, stakeholders, actions taken, and outcomes. This in turn costs your school time, money, efficiency, and success. It also confuses staff and students as to where to turn for resources.
In this session, we'll brainstorm, opine, and debate what these phrases mean to help bring everyone closer to being on the same page.
Day 2 | Oct 18
