The 2026 CUNY IT Conference focused theme is: AI Disruption and Opportunities. Artificial intelligence is reshaping higher education at extraordinary speed, altering how we teach, learn, conduct research, make decisions, design services, and imagine the future of our institutions. For many, AI represents disruption in its most immediate form—challenging long-standing assumptions about expertise, authorship, assessment, labor, privacy, and trust. Yet it also offers new opportunities to improve access, enhance student support, expand creativity, streamline operations, and open new possibilities for teaching and learning.
AI is already changing the conditions under which higher education operates. The question is not whether institutions will respond, but how. This year’s conference invites the CUNY community and its partners to share ideas, experiments, concerns, strategies, and discoveries that can help us navigate this moment with intelligence, imagination, and care. If you are exploring how AI is disrupting familiar practices—or creating meaningful new opportunities—we encourage you to join us for this year’s CUNY IT Conference!
This is an invitation-only event, open to higher education institutions only. For more information or to request an invitation, please contact Jennifer Caldwell.
