 Welcome to the 2012 EDUCAUSE annual conference. I know you'll find this a rewarding experience and well worth the investment you've made to participate. EDUCAUSE is a non-profit association whose mission is to advance higher education through the use of information technology. With over 68,000 active members, we help those who lead, manage, and use IT to shape strategic decisions at every level. The EDUCAUSE community includes more than 2,400 colleges, universities, organizations, and corporations, and it spans 43 countries. We offer a range of programs and services. Education, career development, research, benchmarking, and policy analysis focused on areas such as enterprise, security, and teaching and learning. You can learn more about our programs in the community update videos available on the conference home page. EDUCAUSE's motto is uncommon thinking for the common good. We believe information technology enables innovative thinking about higher education's most important problems. The annual conference is designed so you can contribute your ideas and experience and learn from others in our diverse community. EDUCAUSE 2012 program highlights include educational content in six major domains, things like enterprise, infrastructure, leadership, covering all aspects of higher education IT. Sessions are focused on 16 themes such as mobility, risk management, and analytics, allowing you to find just what you need. You'll hear from well-known keynote and featured session speakers and have the chance to participate in a variety of interactive sessions. Experience how space can change your learning experience in our two professionally designed flexible learning spaces. These areas will host special sessions that take advantage of the flexible space, furniture, and interactive design. Our new digital poster gallery will provide an in-depth look at campus projects, visit the posters face to face, or view them online at your leisure. We'll explore the issues surrounding BYOD and higher education through a community-directed, unconference approach. And we'll discuss ways to increase and celebrate diversity in the IT profession. Our conference blends both face-to-face and online environments. Online participants will have access to 63 sessions webcast live from Denver. These sessions are labeled with this icon in the word webcast in the agenda. The webcast will also be available after the conference, so if you have too many sessions to attend face-to-face, remember that you can listen later, giving you more flexibility with your schedule in Denver. You'll find numerous ways to connect with peers, including at refreshment breaks, the Wednesday evening reception, and community lounges. The International Lounge will host activities for our international participants, including briefings with executive staff. Special space is set aside for CIOs with the CIO lounge and the CIO open space. The Community and Constituent Group Lounge is a place where you can organize and prompt two gatherings or just relax. Our exhibit hall is a central location for a variety of activities. You'll have the opportunity to connect with more than 270 technology providers and corporate partners so you can discuss your campus issues, their products, and future strategies. Please don't miss the new learning theater where you can participate in fast-paced community and constituent group spotlights, presentations about community-based solutions to common institutional challenges, and a game-changer competition. Several new zones, what we call alleys, will give you a chance to meet startup companies, take part in market research projects, and hear the latest from the next generation learning challenges. I encourage you to use your conference time well, broaden your perspective by attending sessions outside your area of expertise, share your best practices and strategic plans, and build lasting relationships with colleagues from around the globe.
