NERCOMP 2008 Annual Conference

Whether your focus is administrative services, information resources, teaching and learning, technology infrastructure, or management, you can benefit from attending the annual NERCOMP conference, March 10–12, 2008. Join us in Providence to:

• Hear from innovators and forward thinkers about current and emerging best practices in higher education information services
• Connect with others in positions similar to yours to exchange experiences and explore ways to tackle common challenges
• Learn about what’s going on in the profession and at the institutions in your area

This year's conference, "Education and Technology in Service of the Networked Society," will explore the challenges of meeting constituent demands for delivering institutional information technologies in the context of hyper and socially connected environments. Be inspired by the potential, innovation, success, and failures and case studies of your colleagues. Take home an idea or two to add your own set of best practices, with your institution's own flavor, of course.

Preconference seminars will be held Monday, March 10, with the full conference program March 11–12, 2008. The program will follow these key topic areas:

• Enterprise Services and Administrative Systems
• Leadership, Planning and Organizational Development
• Library and Research Initiatives
• Policy, Regulations and Security
• Teaching, Learning, and Assessment
• Technology Support
• Corporate and Campus Solutions

The Rhode Island Convention Center and Westin hotel are centrally located in the historic downtown district of Providence and just a short walk from a variety of local attractions and restaurants.
