Advancing Technology: Pushing Boundaries

Advances in technology are impacting the way colleges and universities approach their missions, interact with their students, and achieve their goals. This technological “churn” is creating both challenges and opportunities for higher education. What is coming down the road, how far will boundaries expand, and how do we best prepare?

Join us at the Lake of the Ozarks for the 2007 Higher Education Learning and Information eXchange (HELIX) conference to engage in discussion and the free exchange of information, solutions and ideas.

This year’s program will continue to provide the professional development and networking opportunities that you have come to expect from HELIX. This will be a great opportunity for members to showcase their activities and share success stories with colleagues.

You will also have the opportunity to meet with industry representatives at the Exhibitor Fair that will help you make informed buying decisions on new technology and software solutions for your campus.

We hope that you can join your colleagues for two days of presentations, discussions and networking, as we continue to explore the evolution of instructional and information technology in higher education.

Conference sponsored by the Missouri Education and Research Consortium (MERC).
