AI Virtual Forum 2026:
AI and the Future of College Admission
Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2026 | 1:45-5:15 p.m. ET
As AI continues to impact the college admission process, NACAC is bringing together a group of field experts and innovative AI vendors to present the association’s second annual AI virtual forum.
The main presentation, “AI and the Future of College Admission,” will examine the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in the college admission counseling ecosystem, offering practical insights for admission officers, school and college counselors, IECs, CBO professionals, and anyone else who supports the field. Participants will explore how AI is being leveraged across key stages of the process, including college counseling, student search and outreach, application review, and more. Through real-world examples and facilitated discussion, this virtual forum will highlight opportunities to improve efficiency, personalization, and access, while also addressing risks related to bias, transparency, ethics, and equity.
In addition to the expert-led discussions and real-world case studies, attendees will experience live vendor demonstrations showcasing emerging AI-powered tools and solutions designed specifically for the college counseling and admission professions. These demonstrations will highlight practical applications to improve efficiency, personalization, and access.
