AALHE 2027 Conference

Call for Proposals - Coming soon!

June 14-16, 2027 | Held in Milwaukee, WI

The AALHE Annual Conference is set to take place June 14-16, in an in-person format, bringing together higher education professionals from across the country for two days of engaging presentations and collaborative learning.

All meeting sessions and exhibits will take place at the historic Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Renowned as one of the Midwest’s finest hotels, the Pfister seamlessly blends timeless elegance, historic charm, and modern luxury.

Located near Milwaukee’s historic Third Ward, the Pfister welcomes you with stunning architecture and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Beyond the hotel, the city offers plenty to explore, from the Milwaukee Art Museum and Harley-Davidson Museum to catching a Brewers game at American Family Field or wandering through the Milwaukee Public Market.

This is where legacy gets remixed, creativity keeps moving, and momentum keeps building. That’s that flavor. And it’s only in Milwaukee.

Stay tuned for more information.
