Corporate Participation

The Enterprise IT Summit is the place to network with over 150 IT and business operations professionals, who are focused on the strategic value of enterprise IT in higher education today.

Meshing finance with technology planning is as important as developing a financial plan alongside a facility master plan. The 2017 Summit will consider how CIOs and CFOs can work together to prioritize investments and understand the full cost and benefit of technology, the impact of cloud services on budget strategies, governance and decision-making related to IT spend, and what it really means to work across the institution in a collaborative relationship.
