The EA Campus Virtual Summit

THE EA CAMPUS
VIRTUAL SUMMIT

The Future of the Executive Assistant.

Real Skills for a Changing Role

The work may move faster in 2026. The Assistants who stand out are those who invest in their skills.

AI can draft an email in seconds. Tools can automate entire workflows, but the ability to partner with an Executive, influence decisions, lead operations, and build trust still defines the top tier of the profession.

Join us for a focused half-day summit that brings together some of the most respected voices in the Assistant profession. You’ll learn what the future of the role really looks like, and the practical skills that will carry you through it.

REAL PEOPLE.
REAL EXPERIENCE.
REAL CHANGE.

The EA role is evolving quickly. Executives now rely on Assistants who can manage complex calendars, handle sensitive communication, run projects, understand workflows, and make confident decisions without constant supervision. This summit focuses on the real work of the modern EA.

Each session breaks down practical skills you can use the same day, the conversations to have with your Executive, the systems to refine, the habits that save time, and the actions that strengthen your partnership. Learn what actually works inside fast-moving organizations and proven tactics you can take back to your desk.

How to Get Your Exec to Delegate
(Even If They’re Bad at It)

Delegation is one of the most talked-about leadership skills, and one of the most poorly executed. Many executives want to delegate but don’t know how, don’t trust the process, or don’t realize what they’re holding onto.

In this practical session, we’ll flip the script and focus on what you can control. You’ll learn concrete strategies to make delegation easier, safer, and more appealing for your Executive – without nagging, mind-reading, or overextending yourself.

This session is about becoming a Force Multiplier, not a task-taker, and helping your Executive feel confident about letting go.

Career Q&A

In this live Career Q&A, Peggy shares what actually shapes a long, sustainable career as an Executive Assistant. We’ll talk about confidence, visibility, decision-making, executive presence, and how to navigate moments where your role, scope, or ambitions start to shift.

This session is practical, honest, and grounded in real career decisions. Expect discussion around advocating for yourself, using your voice effectively, and recognising the leadership impact Assistants already have, often without formal titles.

The Latest Tools and Trends Shaping Modern Event Planning

In this session, Tess Vismale and Keith Johnston break down how event planning is evolving in practice, from the tools teams are actually using to the trends influencing how events are designed, delivered, and measured. Drawing on their work with organisations and communities across the events industry, they’ll explore where technology is genuinely adding value, what is changing in attendee expectations, and how planners can adapt without overcomplicating their workflows. This is a grounded, forward-looking session for anyone responsible for events who wants a clearer view of what matters now and what is likely to shape event planning over the next few years.

EA Industry Trends and Key Skills

In this panel conversation, Candice Burningham and Mia Lane join us to share what they are seeing across the administrative and EA profession right now. Drawing on their work with Assistants, leaders, and organizations, they will explore the shifts happening in hiring, expectations, visibility, AI adoption, and the widening scope of the role.

This session will give you a clear sense of where the market is moving and what that means for us as EAs. We will unpack the skills that are becoming increasingly valuable, the gaps that still hold Assistants back, and the opportunities emerging for those who are ready to step forward.

Stop Guessing Your Value: Measure It. The ROI Calculator for Executive Assistants.

Elizabeth Sutkowska introduces the ROI Calculator, a practical framework that categorises Exec support into Operational, Tactical, and Strategic layers, helping EAs understand where their time, energy, and impact truly go. The goal isn’t to prove worth, but to make smarter choices through awareness, clarity, and intentional career design. Beyond measurement, this session explores how structured tools are shaping the future of the EA profession, shifting the role from reactive to intentional and changing the conversation from “Why do we need an EA?” to “How are we using this role wisely?”

Power up your PowerPoint with Copilot

In this session, a Microsoft PowerPoint MVP shares how Copilot can be used inside PowerPoint to speed up slide creation, improve structure, and support clearer storytelling. We’ll look at practical ways to move from a blank deck to a solid first draft, refine messaging, and align slides with executive expectations, without relying on generic templates. This session focuses on realistic use cases for Assistants who support presentations regularly and want to use Copilot as a practical productivity tool rather than a gimmick.

AI-Assisted To-Do Lists: Turn Your Thoughts into Actions with Simple AI Tools

In this session, Liz Hardwick shows how simple AI tools can help turn scattered thoughts, notes, and ideas into clear, workable to-do lists. The focus is on practical, low-effort ways to capture tasks, prioritise effectively, and reduce the mental load of holding everything in your head. Liz will share realistic examples of how Assistants can use AI to organise work, spot next actions, and create systems that support follow-through, without adding extra tools or complexity to their day.

Join us for four hours that will transform your career.

Whether you’re supporting a high-expectation Executive, managing constant change, or trying to bring more structure to your role, The EA Campus Virtual Summit is built for you.

Across a series of practical sessions, you’ll learn how top Assistants strengthen their Executive partnership, lead with more confidence, streamline operations with AI and systems, communicate with clarity, and apply project-thinking to the work that lands on their desk every day.

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.

What time is the summit?

We’ll be streaming the entire Virtual Summit live and on repeat for 24 hours, starting at 0:00 AM GMT on Tuesday 31st March.

That means no matter where you are in the world – Sydney, San Francisco, Singapore or Scotland – you can join live at a time that works best for you.

Here’s how it works:
We’ll begin the summit at 0:00 AM GMT and then replay the full four-hour programme 6 times throughout the next 24 hours. You can tune in when it suits your schedule, whether that’s morning, afternoon, evening, or even overnight.

And yes, the live chat will run throughout the 24-hour window, so you’ll still be able to interact with fellow Assistants, ask questions, and swap ideas in real-time, just like you would at any of our Virtual Summits.

This format is all about flexibility and inclusion. Whether you’re working a packed diary or logging in from the other side of the world, you’ll still get the full summit experience, your schedule, your way, with a global community of Assistants learning right alongside you. If you want to check your timezone, we recommend World Time Buddy.
