EDUCAUSE 2011 Online: Rich Content, Convenient Access
As you contemplate the best way to participate in the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, be sure to compare your options. Whether you're attending this year’s gathering of the best thinking in higher education IT in person or online, you're bound to be inspired by innovative strategies, learn practical takeaways, and make new connections.
Here are the benefits of participating online:
Extensive live streaming sessions—With nearly 70 session streams to choose from, you’ll have access to more content than at any past EDUCAUSE online conference. You'll benefit from much of the same content face-to-face attendees are getting, without leaving your campus.
Searchable online program—Navigate live streaming sessions, exclusive online-only sessions, and unique networking opportunities. Also, create a personalized itinerary for what you want to attend. (LIVE sessions will be recorded for on-demand viewing during the conference.)
Virtual exhibit hall—Connect with solution-oriented product/service providers who are available to answer your questions and offer a variety of resources to explore.
Dynamic, user-friendly event environment—This year, you’ll have access to a virtual convention center that allows for easy navigation across all online event activities and enhanced engagement opportunities.
"Nothing takes the place of attending the conference, but the online method was EXTREMELY valuable to us. People from different departments on our campus got together and...created some opportunities for networking that we often seem not to have time for." —EDUCAUSE 2010 Attendee
