Verto Education’s
ANNUAL PARTNER SUMMIT

Prague, Czech Republic

 

November 15 – 17, 2026

Our annual summit brings together incredible professionals from both current and prospective partner universities who are passionate about accessible, global education. 

This summit far exceeded my expectations. I learned so much. […] I am amazingly impressed with the dedication of all the staff and faculty members at both sites who are extremely passionate about what they do. […] I have seen many education initiatives over my career, but the Verto program is one of the most innovative programs I have encountered.

Tina McEntire Vice Chancellor of Enrollment Management, University of North Carolina Greensboro

I really think that if new partners can swing it, they should all attend the Summit when they’re first joining Verto because everyone in the Direct Transfer group had very good questions that really helped me to understand the partnership better.

Travis Tekiele Associate Director of Transfer Recruitment, Albion College

This was an extremely well planned and organized summit. Verto did an incredible job of blending work and cultural experiences. I felt like a student on a study abroad experience. I couldn’t recommend the experience more!

Jennifer Timmons Associate Director of Transfer Outreach, The University of Iowa

You have such an incredible thing going. Honestly, from start to finish you really covered all the bases. It is clear that everyone who works for your organization is deeply mission driven and cares immensely for the students. This program is no doubt changing lives and I am proud to be affiliated with it.

Tara Hildt Transfer Admissions Counselor, University of New Hampshire

$500 Registration Fee

This one-time fee covers hotel accommodations, all meals, and all group activities during the event.

Please note that this does not cover travel insurance or international/domestic travel. All transportation to and from the event is the responsibility of the participant.

Waivers Available:
We are committed to making this conference accessible to all. If the registration fee or general travel costs present a financial barrier for your university or institution, please email us (universitypartnerships@vertoeducation.org) to receive a registration waiver code and/or a Flight Grant.

Arriving on-site

Participants will be responsible for their own airfare arrangements to and from Prague, Czech Republic.

The Prague airport (PRG) is called Václav Havel Airport and is situated just 12 km (7 miles) west of the center of Prague.

There are limited direct flights from the US to Prague, so many travelers may find it easier to fly into a major European hub—such as Frankfurt (FRA), London Heathrow (LHR), or Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG)—and continue to Prague Václav Havel Airport (PRG) on a short connecting flight.

Lodging Info

Hotel accommodations will be announced here once finalized.
