Agenda and Program


The EDUCAUSE Annual Conference program is derived from member-driven content organized across six overarching IT domains and 18 subject themes. Participants can take part in person in Anaheim, California or virtually from anywhere. Attend as an individual, or gather a team together and make it a comprehensive experience.

Both the on-site and virtual conference activities run from 8:00 a.m. Wednesday, October 16, to 11:15 a.m. Friday, October 18. Preconference seminars are offered on Tuesday, October 15, for additional fees.

>> The complete daily agenda will be online in July.
