Following the success of Re: University 2026, Higher Education Strategy Associates is excited to bring Re: University back in 2027 in partnership with Toronto Metropolitan University.

Re: University is a pan-Canadian gathering built for university leaders ready to move beyond business-as-usual. Designed as an innovation sandbox for Canadian higher education, the conference brings together institutional leaders, policymakers, innovators, and selected international speakers to collaboratively explore bold and practical visions for the future of universities.

Following the success of the inaugural conference in 2026, Re: University returns on February 18-19, 2027 with a continued focus on bold ideas, practical innovation, and collaborative conversations about the future of higher education in Canada.

Re: University is about designing what comes next. It offers an open space to think big and act boldly: to create new models, challenge assumptions, and learn from experiments already underway across Canada and around the world. Rather than offering a passive lineup of presentations, Re: University is focused on collective learning, exchange, and collaboration.
