The 2005 theme was "On Stage with IT: You Need More than a Good Script." Whether focused on administrative services, information resources, teaching and learning, technology infrastructure, or management within higher education, participants found opportunities to learn, share, and connect with others in their field and from their part of the country. At the center of the conference were practical "how-to" sessions that offered valuable, region-specific information and ideas to help manage and lead IT at your institution.
