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 EXPERIENCE.
REAL PROGRESS.

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.

The Real State of EA Careers:
Inside the 2025 Salary Survey

In this data-driven session, Alicia Fairclough, Founder of EA How To, and Yvette Lamb, Founder of The Admin Wrap, authors of the 2025 EA Salary Survey, unpack what this year’s findings reveal about where the EA profession is heading next. They’ll share how pay, progression, and career satisfaction connect and what the data says about how Assistants can grow their value and influence in 2026. Expect clear insight, practical context, and a fresh perspective on how to plan your career with confidence and purpose.

Strategic Thinking That
Executives Recognize

Every EA wants to be seen as strategic. Fewer know how to show it. This session cuts through the buzzwords and focuses on what strategic thinking actually looks like in practice: the questions, habits, and decision patterns that signal capability and build Executive trust. Walk away with practical tools to build and demonstrate strategic thinking immediately – not just talk about it.

Clarity, Focus and Follow-Through:
Turning Plans into Real Impact

In this session, Meg will explore how Executive Assistants can bring calm, clarity, and credibility to the ever-changing demands of leadership support. Drawing on her work through Connected Assistants, Meg will unpack what it really means to lead from the middle — influencing without authority, building trust in the grey areas, and creating structure that keeps pace with complexity.

She’ll share practical strategies for setting boundaries that stick, protecting your focus in high-pressure environments, and communicating with intention when everything feels urgent.

Setting ChatGPT Up For Success

In this practical, hands-on session, Nicky Christmas, Founder of The EA Campus, walks you through how to set up ChatGPT so it actually works the way you do. You’ll see how to personalize your settings, use memory effectively, and create your own EA Digital Twin so that ChatGPT understands your tone, your Executive’s preferences, and the way you work.

Nicky will also share when to lean on AI, when to apply your own judgement, and how to get reliable results without endless editing. If you’ve ever felt like ChatGPT doesn’t quite “get” you, this session will show you how to change that.

How Top EAs Manage Complex Schedules and Competing Demands

This panel brings together experienced Executive Assistants who’ve mastered balancing competing demands, protecting focus time, and keeping their leaders (and themselves) one step ahead.

Discover what really matters when the calendar is already full, how to set boundaries and protect thinking time, and how to handle constant changes, last-minute requests, and back-to-back meetings. Learn how strong relationships make rescheduling, pushing back, or saying no easier, and how tech, templates, and consistent routines help them stay proactive instead of reactive.

Copilot for Executive Assistants. Practical ways to work smarter in the inbox

AI tools are changing how Assistants manage communication, and nowhere is that more visible than in Outlook. In this session, AI trainer Mike Garde will walk you through how Copilot can support the way you triage email, manage volume, and keep your executive focused on what matters. You’ll see practical, real examples of how Copilot can summarise threads, draft replies that still sound like your executive, and highlight priorities without adding more steps to your day.

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 the future of the EA role, 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.
