AACRAO’s Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Conference is an annual conference and provides conference participants with practical solutions, promising practices, training, research, and guidelines for enrollment management practitioners looking to maximize student success, improve operational efficiency, and enhance the financial well-being of their institution.

The SEM Conference brings together a comprehensive lineup of experts, researchers, and practitioners—who showcase both the core concepts that are the foundation of SEM, as well as new and best practices. Approximately 1,000 people attended this year’s conference.
