CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
Campus Technology conferences cover a broad range of leading technologies for teaching and learning, administration, research, and communications on college and university campuses. Presenters address current and emerging applications of technology in education and provide models for implementation, best use practices, and strategies for effective technology leadership on campus.
Today’s operational environment in higher education demands accountability, so we are especially seeking presenters who can show how to link technology implementations with long-range institutional goals and impact on the community. To reflect the latest trends in higher education technology, this year we are placing an emphasis on digital media in instruction, collaborative learning environments, mobile and social technologies on campus, and technology that advances new instructional models and institutional transformation.
WHO ATTENDS CAMPUS TECHNOLOGY EVENTS?
Our attendees have varied professional roles in higher education, but all are campus technology leaders: CIOs, instructional designers, academic computing professionals, tech-savvy faculty, and others charged with technology programs and implementations on campus.

Focus Areas
Track 1: Digital Media
A broad category of tools, resources, and services under the heading of digital media is changing the face of instruction and offering new potential for the campus community. Whether you’re integrating social media in instruction, leveraging open education resources (OERs), exploring MOOCs, or documenting real-world knowledge in an ePortfolio, you are engaging in one of many new education practices enabled by digital media. Presenters in this track will explore all types of digital media in the education environment.
The Program Selection Committee is looking for proposals including, but not limited to the following topics: Social Media in Instruction, New Media Publishing/Open Education Resources, Electronic Textbooks/Digital Content, Digital Learning Applications, New Instructional Models and LearningPlatforms/MOOCs/ePortfolios, Collaboration Tools/Collaborative Content Creation.
Track 2: Mobile Learning
Mobile devices are coming to campus, whether through formalized mobile projects and programs or as informal student communications choices. Along with these devices come high expectations for mobile learning applications and mobile services on campus. Presenters in this track will explore a range of relevant mobile applications and services on campus and consider trends and implications as mobile finds its place in the business of education.
The Program Selection Committee is looking for proposals including, but not limited to the following topics: Integrating Mobile in Instruction, Mobile Apps for Education, Mobile Program Initiatives, Mobile Device Management and Security, Industry Perspectives on Mobility, iPads, GIS and Location-Aware Services.
Track 3: Technology Infrastructure
Campus IT organizations today must effectively manage large-scale institutional technology programs and enterprise implementations. The institutional technology infrastructure is, in a sense, defining the institution now even more than brick-and-mortar infrastructure used to. This track gives attendees an opportunity to examine the technology infrastructure that’s now helping shape our institutions.
The Program Selection Committee is looking for proposals including, but not limited to the following topics: Smart Classroom/Control Systems, Flexible Learning Spaces/Collaboration Spaces/Learning Commons, Cloud Implementations, Virtualization/Data Center, Data Infrastructure/Big Data, Regional and Community Network Initiatives, Learning Management Systems
Track 4: IT Leadership and Institutional Change
With today’s rapidly evolving technologies, institutional pressures for accountability, and an extremely tough economy, higher education IT leaders are facing their most challenging operational environment to date. But many IT organizations are poised to increase their effectiveness and influence on campus as they develop new IT/academic partnerships and find opportunities to lead institutional change.
The Program Selection Committee is looking for proposals including, but not limited to the following topics: Institutional Analytics/Learning Analytics, Institutional Effectiveness, IT/Academic Partnerships, Program Assessment/Degree Qualification, Credentialing/New Pathways, Organizational Change/Governance, IT Staff Development, Industry/Community Partnerships, SaaS and Outsourcing, Funding Challenges/Grants.
Track 5: Industry Directions (Vendor Technology Presentations)
Emerging technology applications and new product feature sets are topics for which attendees especially appreciate vendor expertise. This track allows for a wide variety of technology areas while providing the product-specific, in-depth demonstrations and on-the-spot Q&A that product managers and vendor reps offer.
The Program Selection Committee is looking for proposals including, but not limited to the following topics: Social Software Applications, Mobile Devices (e.g., Tablets), Mobile Applications, Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) Systems, Institutional Intelligence (BI) Systems, ePortfolio Systems, Classroom Control Systems, New Learning Management System Features.
Please identify which of the five tracks best fits your proposal. We have provided general examples of focus areas within each track, but not with the intention of setting rigid parameters. Our Program Selection Committee will entertain submissions that extend, supplement, or update these track topics.

Vendor Presentation
About 10 percent of CT sessions are industry related presentations demonstrating technological solutions. Companies, organizations and individuals representing technology-related products are invited to apply. These sessions should offer valuable facts and content to the audience and are not to be used as an “infomercial.” Sales pitches are highly discouraged. Vendor presentations will be noted in the Program. Vendors are encouraged to have end users present with them, or preferably, for them. All vendor presenters must be exhibitors with a Promotion Package at CT.
Please Note: Our policy requires presenters and co-presenters who are vendor representatives to be associated with companies exhibiting in the exhibit hall. If your company elects to withdraw as an exhibitor or becomes a part of another company's exhibit, you will no longer be eligible to present.
