EDUCAUSE Western Regional Conference 2005

Join us in San Francisco for the second annual EDUCAUSE Western Regional Conference, April 26-28, 2005. This year’s theme is "Winds of Change: Charting the Course for Technology in Challenging Times." 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.

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. Join us for preconference seminars on the morning of April 26 and the full conference program April 26–28. The sessions follow four key tracks:

• Aligning Technology with Institutional Mission through Leadership, Management and Policy
• Leveraging Technology to Meet New and Old Challenges in Teaching, Learning, and Research
• Sustaining Technology through Infrastructure and Security
• Corporate Presentations

Make the most of your visit to San Francisco! The Grand Hyatt San Francisco is conveniently located in Union Square, with a variety of attractions, shopping, and restaurants just a short walk away.
