The 2006 theme was "Balancing Today with Tomorrow through Innovation, Collaboration, and Integration." 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.
