The EA Campus Virtual Summit

THE EA CAMPUS
VIRTUAL SUMMIT

The Future of the Executive Assistant.

Real Skills for a Changing Role

Join us for a focused half-day of practical learning designed for modern Executive Assistants. Whether you support a high-expectation Executive, manage shifting priorities, or want to build more structure into your role, The EA Campus Virtual Summit gives you the tools to do your job with more clarity and confidence.

Across a series of hands-on sessions, you’ll learn how leading Assistants manage complex calendars, protect focus time, communicate with impact, streamline operations with technology, and support senior leaders at a higher level.

With three ticket options available, there’s a choice to suit every Assistant. whether you’re joining individually, with colleagues, or as part of a wider team.

REAL SKILLS.
REAL PROGRESS.
REAL IMPACT.

The EA role continues to evolve, and today’s Executives expect support that goes far beyond traditional tasks. They rely on Assistants who can think ahead, manage information, run small projects, communicate with accuracy, and make confident decisions.

This summit focuses on the real work of the modern EA. Each session breaks down practical skills you can use straight away, the conversations to have with your Executive, the systems worth refining, and the actions that strengthen your partnership. Learn what works inside fast-moving organisations and take back proven tactics you can apply at your desk the same day.

Clarity, Competence, Confidence: Positioning Yourself for Impact

Many administrative professionals are highly capable and incredibly busy, yet still struggle to gain visibility, recognition, and strategic influence within their organisations.

In this session, Rebecca Afful introduces a practical framework built around three key pillars: Clarity, Competence, and Confidence, showing how administrative professionals can intentionally reposition themselves for greater impact.

Attendees will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to move beyond task-based support and position themselves as strategic partners.

The EA-Exec Partnership: How Work Actually Moves

Most EAs are told to be more strategic. That is the wrong starting point. This session shows how work actually moves through the EA–exec partnership, why the role so often becomes the place where pressure accumulates, and how to design your way out of it.

After this session, you will leave with two tools you can use immediately and a question that will change how you see your role

Claude Cowork – Executing with Agentic AI

In this session, we’re going to look at Claude Cowork: a tool that doesn’t just answer your questions, it executes your work. Documents, emails, calendar entries, contract reviews, slide decks — produced as real files, inside your real tools, from a single prompt. The difference isn’t just speed.

We’ll cover how to use plugins built for the kind of work EAs actually do, how persistent memory means Cowork gets smarter the longer you use it, and how the same setup that handles a one-off brief can grow into a fully personalised workspace that knows your Exec, your priorities, and your way of working.

Designing A Career In Executive Support On Your Own Terms

Career progression is usually presented as a straight line. For most Assistants, the reality has looked nothing like that.

In this session, Caroline Marshall sits down with Nicky Christmas to talk about what a career in Executive support actually looks like when it’s built on your own terms. Caroline’s own path has been far from linear – self-employment, contract roles, full-time employment, redundancy, and then building a business.

Together, they look at how those experiences shaped the way Caroline sees progression – as something to design rather than follow.

Building operational credibility inside a scaling company

Your LinkedIn profile is the most underused thing in your career right now. Not because you don’t have anything to say. Because nobody told you that you didn’t have to be job hunting to say it. In this session, Gila Bublick, Executive Assistant to the CEO at Jazz, will change how you think about that completely.

After this session, you’ll stop waiting for a reason to show up on LinkedIn, because you’ll already know you are the reason.

Beyond Pretty: Strategic Colour Coding for EAs

Colour coding isn’t about making your inbox or planner look aesthetic — it’s about creating clarity, visibility, and better decisions. In this session, Ruth will show us how to design smart, intentional colour systems that your executive will actually use. You’ll learn how to move beyond reactive admin and build simple, scalable structures inside Microsoft 365 that surface priorities, highlight risks, and reduce noise without adding complexity.

Alongside that, Ruth will demonstrate how to introduce and implement these systems in a way that gets genuine buy-in from your executive.

Regain Control of Email, Protect Your Focus, and Strengthen Your Decisions

In this fast-paced session, Steuart Snooks draws on nearly three decades of experience helping executives, assistants, and teams transform their relationship with email. Based on his new book Triage Your Inbox, this session gives you a practical, evidence-based overview of why your inbox feels the way it does — and exactly what to do about it.

Whether you are drowning in email or simply know you could handle it better, this session will give you both the clarity to understand the problem and the confidence to solve it — permanently.

Join us for four hours that will transform your career.

The work is moving faster each year. The Assistants who stand out are those who invest in their skills. AI can draft messages and speed up workflows, but the ability to partner with an Executive, influence decisions, manage operations, and build trust remains firmly human.

This Summit brings together respected voices from across the profession to explore what the future of the EA role looks like, what will be expected next, and how to prepare for it.
You’ll walk away with practical tools, stronger confidence in your approach, and a clearer sense of where your work adds the most value.
