EDUCAUSE Southeast Regional Conference 2009

Whether your focus is administrative services, information resources, teaching and learning, technology infrastructure, or management, you can benefit from attending the Ninth Annual EDUCAUSE Southeast Regional Conference, June 1-3, 2009. Join us at the Westin Peachtree Plaza to:

• Hear from innovators and forward thinkers about current and emerging best practices in higher education information services
• Connect with others in positions similar to yours to exchange experiences and explore ways to tackle common challenges
• Learn about what’s going on in the profession and at the institutions in your area

This year’s conference, “A Changing World: Rethinking IT Services for a Sustainable Future,” will explore innovative responses to the impact of new dynamics in our world, including changes in climate, economics, students’ expectations, and more. Within these new dynamics, technology can serve as a catalyst that stretches across disciplines, combining academic and social life. IT staff at every level must rethink their business and educational processes and act strategically to move toward sustainability in all they do so that campus IT services can become a lean, green machine.

Preconference seminars begin the morning of June 1, with the full conference program June 1-3, 2009. The program follows five key tracks:

• Sustainable Leadership: It's Everyone's Responsibility!
• Sustainable Service Delivery and Infrastructure: Balancing Operations and Innovation
• Sustainable Teaching and Learning: Teaching 2.x
• Sustainable E-Research and E-Scholarship: Enabling the Scholarly Communication of the Future
• Corporate and Campus Solutions: Corporate Solutions from the Client Institution's Perspective
