Attendee "Make the Case" Resources

Join Us for the ELI Annual Meeting

These are uncommon times, and we need uncommon thinking to confront the challenges of higher education IT. This is why the ELI Annual Meeting is more important than ever. The conference will be held online over three days, May 18–20. Do you need a supervisor's approval to register?

We have some tips on how to convince them to provide the financial support to attend.

Reasons you should register:

  • Professional Learning. The conference has a variety of sessions to help you stay up-to-date with the latest trends in higher education teaching and learning. View the conference program and make a list of the sessions that would be beneficial to your professional growth and your organization.
  • Networking. You will have multiple ways to engage, learn, and connect with colleagues from around the world. The virtual conference will bring together our diverse and innovative community to share their knowledge and expertise with one another.
  • Budget-Friendly.The conference is 100% virtual this year, so there are no prohibitive accommodation and travel expenses...just register online and you're ready to go. Your investment also allows access to sessions for 8 weeks after the event.

If you need help getting started, use our email template to seek your supervisor's approval (feel free to edit as you deem appropriate).

EDUCAUSE is dedicated to setting a new standard for virtual conferences...we hope you will join us!
