CANHEIT 2012 “Building the Digital University”

June 10 - 13, 2012
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

With a focus on IT issues of interest to Canadian universities and colleges, CANHEIT brings together staff, managers, and senior administrators who are responsible for management and evolution of their campus information systems, learning systems, and technology infrastructure.

At CANHEIT 2012 you will:

  • Network with peers who share similar interests.
  • Share your vision of the digital university.
  • Discover ideas to solve today’s challenges.

Universities are reliant on information technology (IT) for almost everything they do – teaching, learning, research, administration, communication and planning. IT influences, enables and even transforms these and other university activities. IT is integral to a university’s success.

Take advantage of this opportunity to help us re-imagine, reinvent, and innovate in a climate of constant change and challenge. Help us, together, build the digital university.
