The world’s economy is rapidly evolving, and technological advancements are shifting workforce demands, reshaping the skills employers need, and changing opportunities available to the next generation of talent. Pennsylvania has the tools to lead, but that requires addressing workforce challenges and better preparing students for careers that will attract and retain talent here in Pennsylvania.

To address these issues, the PA Chamber, in partnership with Steptoe & Johnson, is proud to host the Higher Education Summit on Thursday, September 10 at Rock Lititz.

This unique thought-leadership event brings together leaders from higher education, business, and government for important conversations on aligning Pennsylvania’s colleges and universities with the needs of employers and students.

What to Expect

• A featured fireside chat with Neeli Bendapudi, President of Penn State University, and Kelly McManus, Executive Vice President of Education at Arnold Ventures.
• A Rock Lititz-led case study in how workforce partnerships are driving innovation in the live entertainment industry.
• Engaging panel discussions focused on policy reforms and strengthening alignment between higher education and employer needs.
• Thought-provoking dialogue, vast exhibit opportunities, and prime networking with leaders committed to strengthening Pennsylvania’s talent pipeline.

This is more than an event – it’s a member-driven opportunity to shape the future of education, workforce development, and economic growth across Pennsylvania.
