At the Seventh Annual EDUCAUSE Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference, January 15–17, 2008, we:
- Heard from innovators and forward thinkers about current and emerging best practices in higher education information services
- Connected with others in positions similar to yours to exchange experiences and explore ways to tackle common challenges
- Learned about what’s going on in the profession and at the institutions in your area
This year's conference, "Innovative Planning for the 21st-Century Academy: Creating Reality Through Technology, Collaboration, and Best Practices," explored innovative, collaborative, and practical responses to the complex challenges of shifting student demographics and expectations, expanding teaching and learning community support needs, increasing government compliancy issues, growing demand for assessment and accountability, constantly advancing technologies, continual interoperability issues, and decreasing resources.
