This year's theme is "Strategic Collaboration Is the Competitive Advantage: Leading, Understanding, and Building the Collaborative Community" Preconference seminars begin the morning of February 21, with the full conference program February 21–23, 2007 and a postconference seminar will be offered the afternoon of February 23rd. The program follows four key tracks:

• Leadership and Strategic Initiatives
• Partnerships and Consortia

• Corporate and Campus Solutions

Make the most of your visit to Austin. The Omni is located downtown near fabulous restaurants and offers easy access to some of the brightest music venues. Enjoy a stroll along Town Lake, a tour of the new Texas State History Museum, or an evening of bat watching (the largest urban bat colony in the world roosts in Austin).
