Join us in Grand Rapids at the historic Amway Grand Plaza Hotel for the Digital Collegium 2025 Welcome Reception! We'll gather in the stately Ambassador Ballroom for light appetizers, live music, games and plenty of opportunities to connect with friends old and new.
The reception takes place right inside the conference hotel, making it easy to drop in, grab a bite and start great conversations with others who share your passion for higher ed digital.
Board game enthusiasts can enjoy crowd-favorite tabletop games and try their hand at Euchre — a Midwest classic card game found at many Michigan get-togethers.
This is the perfect way to ease into the week, meet your community and set the tone for an inspiring conference experience.
