Engaging Everyone Effectively
The second annual EDUCAUSE West/Southwest Regional Conference will be held February 22-24, 2012, in Portland and simultaneously online. Take advantage of this opportunity to gather with colleagues in your region.
Amid rapid change in higher education and information technology, the importance of IT engagement continues to grow.

How do we effectively engage in teaching and learning on our campuses and beyond campus as technology shrinks time and distance? In the spirit of this year’s conference theme, “Engaging Everyone Effectively,” we will look at ways to collaborate, lead, and assess IT’s role within higher ed as it continues to evolve. Join your colleagues and leaders in the higher ed IT community as we explore the many facets of IT engagement.
Registration is open. Browse the face-to-face and online programs for innovative and practical ideas and hot topics. Be inspired to see the bigger picture and return to campus with a new perspective.
