Where college leaders convene to transform communities.

DREAM, Achieving the Dream (ATD)'s signature event, is where student-centered peers explore college transformation as a catalyst for equity and economic vitality. During this 19th annual convening in Chicago, thousands of practitioners from over 300 colleges will exchange evidence-based strategies that drive access, momentum, mobility, and community impact.

When colleges meet students' needs and engage their passions, students bring new learning and mobility to their families and neighborhoods. Join us as we learn to better steward student success, so our students become the greatest drivers of community transformation.
