Why You Need to Attend EDUCAUSE 2019
Across the country, college campuses are buzzing with activity, as students hit the books in preparation for midterms. However, learning opportunities aren’t exclusive to students. Business and finance leaders in higher education looking to outpace change should attend this fall’s premier IT event for higher learning.
Chicago: My Kind of Town
EDUCAUSE 2019 will be held in Chicago, October 14-17. Participants will be in the windy city for what I consider the best season: fall. The fall foliage will create scenic backgrounds at must-see attractions like Cloud Gate (i.e. The Bean), Navy Park, the Skydeck at Willis Tower, and the Art Institute of Chicago, where we’ll be hosting a networking reception on Tuesday night.
