Data Days 2026

Conference room with diverse attendees at a college summit or educational event, emphasizing collaboration and higher education initiatives.

Overview

Stay tuned in early 2026 for dates and location for the next national CCA Data Days event!

Event Background

At Complete College America, we trust the data. We know data is critical to identifying intertwined barriers and successful strategies for college completion. Whether working closely with an individual student or defining and tracking progress toward improved completion rates nationally, understanding how to collect and analyze data is critical to CCA’s mission. Collective movement is required to scale data to a level that can truly understand if and how we are moving the needle on college completion.​

Each summer, CCA brings together teams from campuses and systems across the nation to attend a two-day hands-on, workshopping “Data Days” event. The annual Data Days event is to learn about the latest data collection tools from experts in the industry in a collaborative learning environment.

What to Expect

  • Designed for campus teams to actively learn how to create data-driven cultures. ​
  • Set KPIs and create a data framework in the pre-conference session.​
  • Hands-on exploration of how AI can support data work.​
  • Gain insights into creating data-driven cultures.

Who to Expect

More than 200 people from colleges and universities of various sizes nationwide, along with state systems or coordinating agencies. Roles include:

  • Institutional research and registrar representatives​
  • Advisors​
  • Vice presidents & assistant vice presidents​
  • Deans and faculty​
  • Student success and/or transformation leads​
  • Student affairs representatives
