At CT 2014, thought leaders will discuss innovative technologies that are transforming their field. The conference will allow attendees to experience these educational leaders in settings ranging from one-on-one talks to large presentations.

“My favorite thing about presenting at CT is the speaker-attendee interaction,” stated Ronald Danielson, Vice Provost for Information Services and CIO at Santa Clara University. “Attendees are immersed in technology applications in higher education. There's a tremendous amount of expertise and experience that really enlivens discussion.”

CT speakers will present on numerous topics that range from online and blended learning to website design and management for universities. CT takes these intriguing topics and allows presenters and attendees to collaborate and discuss matters greatly affecting the ed-tech industry, such as big data, leadership in technology and reinventing education.

“Campus Technology allows higher-ed tech professionals to network with presenters like me as well as colleagues at other institutions,” said Thomas Hoover, Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Information Officer at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC). “The ability to network and share best practices among institutions across the world is what makes working in higher education so much fun.”
