But That’s Not All!
Don't forget, in addition to our great keynotes, October in Buffalo also brings:
- HighEdWeb Leadership Academy: This intensive program will be held October 5- 6, in conjunction with #heweb13. The Academy offers interactive learning experiences in a small group setting and is designed to advance the leadership abilities of Web professionals working in higher education.
- New Wednesday schedule: We’ve changed our Wednesday conference schedule a bit to squeeze in even more great content! Wednesday will now showcase one encore presentation of Red Stapler award-winning presentations, offer another full slot of open sessions, and close with a keynote to send us off to post-conference workshops.
- 60+ presentations: We had a record year for presentation proposals, and cannot wait to share our conference schedule with you at the beginning of June!
