Information Technology plays a pivotal role in delivering value in tertiary education and research. Occasionally we are thrust into the limelight, other times we are a cost centre. Always we underpin the digital outcomes.

We are in a time of unprecedented challenges, change and opportunity. Justin Trudeau stated “the pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again”. It has never been, and never will be again.

Reflecting on global perspectives, innovation and engagement, we will explore insights from benchmarking, thought leadership and success stories, both local and international. We will explore the challenges we face together so that we know we are not alone. Unpack some of the buzzword bingo on the common challenges, the new technology, the common solutions to hopefully take away some inspiration, an idea, a contact, hope, excitement. Shrink the world we work and live in, where geography quickly disappears and where IT professionals strive to make a difference to support institutions to educate, transform, connect. How can we collaborate in adversity to make a brighter future for all?
