2026 Emerging Tech Events
This year, the Emerging Technology degrees have come together to host a series of events designed to create collaboration across the university and beyond. Students and alumni from all degree programs are invited to participate in these events – no experience or tech skills required. If you have ideas and are willing to pitch in as part of a team, you have what it takes to make something great!
Creativity is our most valuable resource. The act of creating can be exhilarating, challenging, or at times, even frightening. Many times, it can feel like all of the above.
Full Sail University is a community that respects and empowers creative thinking, and it’s at the heart of everything we do.
