I oversee Pre-College programming at an 'artsy' college in Boston. I am looking to speak with other people who also do pre-college program. I feel that there is nothing out there for this growing sector even as pre-college programs become more competitive. I started the program at the college I work for and now it is growing. It would be nice to hear what other colleges are doing and (maybe this is going to far) look to create some kind of conference of some kind.

What do you think?

It would be helpful to know a bit more about what you mean here.  Do run a summer prep camp for middle school/high school students --something like a program like Upward Bound? Or remedial education (e.g. developmental, pre-college courses) program? Or Dual enrollment?
Do you run this program out of public or private institution?
I ask, because a lot of colleges-- particuarlly state and community colleges have all three types programs; a lot of private schools may also rent out their space for programs during the summer as well. Religiously affiliated schools-- I'm thinking BC-- may also have some sort of program for kids in Catholic High schools. You may look for the individuals on these campuses who run these programs for networking possibilities. Try "LinkedIn" to connect with these individuals, once you have identified who they are.
