Are You Attending NACAC 2026?

Step Away From the Conference. Recharge With 3E.

After a full day of sessions, conversations, and walking the convention floor, join 3 Enrollment Marketing for a different kind of NACAC reception.

The 3E Recharge Lounge is a private evening designed for enrollment leaders to unwind, connect, and recharge before the night continues.

Just steps from the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Unwind. Recharge. Connect.

No presentation. No sales pitch. No crowded conference booth.

Just a comfortable place to get off your feet, grab a drink and something substantial to eat, reconnect with colleagues, and meet other higher education leaders.

And Leave With a Look at How AI Sees Your Institution.

Every attending institution will receive a complimentary AI Visibility Review.

Visibility alone doesn’t tell you whether AI is helping your institution compete.

Tell us a little about your institution and where enrollment growth matters most. A member of the 3E team will connect with you for a brief conversation about your priorities. From there, we’ll evaluate your AI visibility in the context of your enrollment strategy and prepare a customized AI Visibility Report.

Your review will help uncover:

  • Where and how your institution is appearing in relevant AI conversations
  • How AI is representing your institution, programs, and differentiators
  • Where competitors may be gaining visibility
  • Opportunities to strengthen your position in the markets and programs that matter

Consider it one more way to recharge your enrollment strategy while you’re with us.
