Assistant Vice President and CIO, American University
What is the CIO ENT Seminar?
An opportunity for regional CIOs to come together to network and
share best practices and strategic thinking on issues of the day.
The format for the morning session is more of a seminar format
than a series of formal presentations.
A panel of CIOs from the region will lead the discussion and
attendees to the seminar can join in as well.
Break out sessions are also planned to dive deeper into issues of
concern to attendees.
What is the planned agenda?
Three main parts of the seminar include:
1. A look at the trends facing Higher Education
2. A review of the challenges facing CIOs today
3. Identifying solutions to challenges facing CIOs
