Director of Operations Grad Graph Austin, Texas, United States
Session Abstract: What if the next question you are asked: “How does our ROI stack up against our peers?” or “What’s our alumni economic impact on the state?” could be answered in 30 seconds, in plain English, with citation-ready data? This session introduces Grad Graph, an AI-powered outcomes intelligence platform that lets IR professionals ask natural-language questions and get instant, defensible answers drawn from IPEDS, BLS, and 100M+ alumni career records. Through live demonstrations, attendees will see how conversational AI replaces hours of SQL, spreadsheet wrangling, and one-off data pulls, surfacing degree ROI, peer benchmarks, top employers, graduate school destinations, and economic impact on demand. We’ll walk through real IR use cases including program review, enrollment marketing, accreditation, and legislative reporting. Leave with a practical vision for how AI can transform your office from reactive data provider to strategic storyteller.
