Welcome to our Conference Highlights!

EDUCAUSE 2009, November 3–6, is just days away! Some of you may be worried about the heavy snowstorm we just experienced in Colorado the past couple days. Rest assured, it's already melting, and we're expecting sunny 50s and 60s during the conference—welcome to Colorado!
