The 4th Annual Know IT Conference - 2009

May 11-14                   Cedar Key, Florida

The 3rd annual conference was a rousing success.  Everyone  got something valuable from the experience and we had a great time doing so. Here are some reflections of our colleagues:

The scavenger hunt was such great fun and a great learning experience as well.

"I believe this was the best conference I have ever been to. Thank you for being a part of getting it going. I learned a lot. Thanks for the wonderful time! Hope I get to go next year."  Yvonne Seay, University of Georgia

"Great job! It was a wonderful learning experience (and Cedar Key was pretty nice as well!). I can't remember when I've had so many interesting conversations in a two day period. It's going to take a while for me to process all of the good ideas that came out of the meeting."   Jeff von Munkwitz-Smith, University of Connecticut

"I too had a wonderful experience. I learnt a lot and will definitely try to come next year. Btw, I went to mellowsubmarine.com. I was reading your note to new managers and the interviewing section and really liked it."  Shweta Dalmia, University of Georgia

The 3nd annual Know IT Conference provides an opportunity for those actively involved in the practice and leadership of higher education administrative technology. Held in a rustic, secluded setting, this annual gathering of individuals from a broad spectrum of perspectives and institutions is kept intentionally small to facilitate intimate roundtable discussions and an open exchange of ideas, solutions and challenges.

A unique feature of the conference is that submitted issues and strategic topics of interest are solicited from each of the 25 – 30 participants. This input shapes the final program and provides a forum to share expertise and quality time to dialogue with colleagues. With a focus on management, leadership and technical solutions for the enterprise, you will be sure to go back to work with some great ideas. The relaxed, easy-going atmosphere of Cedar Key is the perfect backdrop for personal and professional learning and reflection.

One of the goals of the Know IT Conference is to create a forum for future leaders and their mentors. We hope to provide new leaders with the opportunity to develop their own self-mentoring professional networks.
