Batten Institute - Education - Tech Learning Series

This spring, the Batten Institute’s Tech Learning Series will bring Darden students face-to-face with the people building and scaling today’s most impactful technologies. These industry-led sessions cut through the buzzwords to deliver practical insights on how tech is shaping real businesses right now. We invite you to come curious and leave with new perspectives, usable frameworks, and a better sense of how technology fits into your future as a business leader.  

All Darden students are invited to attend either virtually or in-person. 

Register here for one or more sessions in the 2026 series through Darden Career Link.
