Continuing education ceased to be operational, and today, together with RECLA, we are redefining the future of universities.
Universities can no longer treat continuing education as a secondary area; in fact, it should be the central focus of their processes. Today, Artificial Intelligence and the changing nature of work are making it a strategic priority.
Have you ever wondered if continuing education has already changed, shouldn't universities change too? Well, artificial intelligence, the transformation of work, and new social demands are forcing universities to rethink their role in record time. Indeed, this is the reality: continuing education has ceased to be a complementary area and has begun to solidify as a strategic pillar for sustainability, innovation, and institutional impact.
That is why this year leaders, managers and experts in higher education will meet in Mexico City to discuss one of the region's biggest challenges: how to transform continuing education into a tool for adaptation, employability and social impact.
On May 4th, RECLA officially announced the 31st RECLA International Meeting 2026, which we will be holding in conjunction with leading universities and a network committed to educational development and transformation. Anáhuac University Mexico, Ibero-American University of Mexico City, and Tecnológico de Monterrey are joining as organizers and venues for this important event, and anyone ready for the debate that will shape continuing education in the region shouldn't miss it.
Likewise, as the world changes faster than traditional educational models, universities face a highly urgent question: how to prepare people for lifelong learning?
Individuals, institutions, universities, companies, and all those who wish to discover it can join the only Ibero-American event on strategic management of Continuing Education, which will allow:
- To understand the trends and transformation of continuing education.
- Connect with world-renowned experts.
- Identify resources for improving teaching and learning.
- To learn about and share university experiences in continuing education.
- Collaborate with peers and institutions on common challenges.
– To initiate or consolidate inter-institutional relationships and joint work agreements.
Universities that do not evolve will lose relevance faster than they imagine, and that is why from November 2nd to 4th, 2026, the XXXI International Meeting 2026 is an opportunity to experience three days of learning that can be implemented throughout life.
This event is the space where continuing education ceases to be merely operational and becomes an institutional strategy. In an environment marked by artificial intelligence, the transformation of work, and widening social gaps, universities face a key decision: evolve towards Lifelong Learning with meaning, sustainability, and impact. This event brings together those leading this process from management positions, providing access to real-world experiences, applied models, and concrete lessons that strengthen decision-making in three critical dimensions: leadership and institutional transformation, impact and inclusion that transcends, and purposeful sustainability.
This meeting presents an unmissable proposal that addresses the themes, trends and challenges that are redefining continuing education today: Evolutionary Leadership in environments with permanent transformation; Inclusion that scales: Lifelong Learning as a social transformer; and Sustainability and new models. and Sustainability and new models.
It's no secret that the future of continuing education has already begun. The question is which institutions are prepared to lead it.
Registration is now open for the 31st RECLA International Meeting 2026. This unmissable event will take place from November 2nd to 4th in Mexico City and will bring together those leading the transformation of continuing education in Latin America and Europe.
In addition to being the leading Ibero-American forum on strategic management of continuing education, it offers special early bird rates and discounts for institutional groups. This is an ideal opportunity for universities and teams to participate together, strengthen their strategic vision, and take advantage of preferential conditions before the first registration period closes.
