Join us in Sacramento for the inaugural EDUCAUSE Western Regional Conference, March 3 –5, 2004. This year's theme is "Moving Beyond the Boundaries: Connecting Service and Outcomes." Whether your focus is administrative services, information resources, teaching and learning, technology infrastructure, or management within higher education, you will find opportunities to learn, share, and connect with others in your field and from your part of the country.

Program

At the center of the conference are practical "how to" sessions that offer valuable, region-specific information and ideas to help you manage and lead IT at your institution.
