Why Join Online

Why attend this online event? 

Does your institution have restricted travel budgets? Too busy to attend all the face-to-face sessions you wanted? This option allows participants from all over the world to revisit sessions from the 2018 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference at their own convenience. On-demand access of all Encore! sessions is provided.

Why choose the virtual attendee option?

  • Access sessions on-demand. Access to all Encore! sessions is provided on-demand—view at your leisure and in your own time zone! 
  • Participate despite schedule or budget. If your schedule or budget did not allow for travel or if your institution did not support travel outside of your state, the online option provides an excellent alternative to get a taste of the 2018 conference.
  • Virtual schedule provides excellent breadth and depth of the program offered. Encore! The EDUCAUSE Annual Conference 2018 online program is made up of the highest rated, member-driven content organized across key areas of community interest. Join us for this online Encore! event for higher ed professionals with over 50 presenters, 33 sessions and over 24 hours of session content including captured content from our featured sessions in Denver.
  • Attend this online event as an institutional team. Attending as a member of a campus team or hosting a team event at your institution in coordination with the program can be tremendously valuable and cost-effective. Team participation can help your institution advance a project and encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration. We also invite all online participants to Tweet their comments on sessions using our Twitter hashtag #EDU18.
