CIO Experience

Elevate Your Leadership and Peer Connections

At the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference, CIOs and leadership aspirants—representing all types and sizes of colleges and universities—convene to share a passion for engaging within their community. Here, they contribute to a better understanding of the strategic role of technology in higher education.

Together we inspire each other to lead change and empower transformation, transcend our focus on day-to-day operations, and help shape the future of product and service offerings.
