About
EDUCAUSE
The annual NERCOMP conference, which took place March 11-13, in Providence, Rhode Island, and online (March 12-13), focused on “Improvising the Future.” In a time of perpetual change and when long range planning is difficult, we often cannot perform according to a set script or score; indeed, we find we must be agile and innovative enough to create new systems and processes to meet the expectations of our communities. We need to be able to improvise, collaborate with colleagues, and build on existing frameworks to arrive at creative solutions for the future.
Preconference seminars were held in Providence Monday, March 11, with the full face-to-face and online conference programs March 12-13. Program sessions focused on these key topic areas:
- Corporate and Campus Solutions
- IT Services: Support Models and Practices
- Leadership and Organizational Development
- Libraries and Scholarship in the 21st Century
- Policy, Regulations, and Security
- Systems and Solutions
- Teaching and Learning

Senior Leadership Forum
The Senior Leadership Forum is a small and informal gathering designed to give you the opportunity to:
- Connect with your peers from the Northeast region
- Engage in a lively exchange of insights and IT solutions
- Take a step back from the pressures of day-to-day work to reflect on larger institutional and societal goals, trends, and opportunities
If you are in one of the following roles on a college or university campus, this forum is for you.
- CIO or senior-most IT leader
- Senior IT manager or library leader with expanding leadership responsibilities
(Please note: Registration is limited to senior IT and library leaders. You must register and pay an additional fee for the forum. This event will take place in the afternoon on March 11, 2013.)
