Theme: Impact by Design

ARIS Summit 2026 theme means talking about your work and its impact. It’s about showing your results – what changed, for whom, and why it matters.

Whether you’re a researcher, practitioner, partner, administrator, or funder, ARIS Conference 2026 attendees will leave with practical approaches to immediately apply and connections to build on all year.

For those of you who have been able to attend an ARIS Summit in-person, one of the best features and opportunities of the summits is our community. We are focused on making the welcoming, engaging, and sharing community that you experience in-person and taking it online for Summit 2026.

Many of these Summit attendees shape national — and often the international — Broader Impacts discussions and best practices.
