A NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR PRIVATE, NON-PROFIT COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES IN TECHNOLOGY

The HESS Consortium Community is specifically focused on the needs of private, non-profit colleges and universities. Our conference is no different in that our workshop sessions and software demonstration sessions are all tailored to the needs of our member institutions. This year’s sessions will include tracks including, policy/planning and compliance, ERP/SIS implementation/operations, security and identity management, equipment and hardware management and artificial intelligence.

Day ONE will feature presentations from professionals within our own member institutions as well as presentations from our Elite and Platinum sponsor companies on specific topics of interest (not general company information).

Day TWO will feature detailed demonstration sessions on software from our foundational enterprise systems partners – Anthology, Ellucian, Jenzabar, Oracle and Workday. These demo sessions will not only show the functionality of the software for potential customers but also updates for companies’ current customers. Day TWO will also include meetings between our HESS Enterprise Systems Cohort members and executives from those major companies to voice praise, feature additions and concerns.

Day THREE will be 1/2 day workshops and presentations from our 2024 Elite Sponsor Partners – Doctums, Drivestream and Ellucian. Topics will be announced soon!
