Gail Chiasson, North American Editor
EduComm Expo (ECE), an educational conference and tradeshow exclusively focused on the needs of those responsible for implementation, oversight, and management of internal digital campus communication technology initiatives in Higher Education will debut at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Sept.30-Oct. 1, 2015.
EduCOMM Expo 2015 will be be co-located with CorpCOMM Expo 2015 (CCE) also being held at the same time, same place.
The two-day EduComm Expo educational conference and show floor exhibits will focus on the future of campus communications and education technology, including the way in which technology enables communicating with students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni, visitors and fans. Featured will be digital display solutions ranging from kiosks to video walls, communication software, remote and on-campus collaborative learning technologies, as well as mobile, desktop and audio applications that serve colleges and universities – of which there are close to 5,000 in the US alone.
An immersive educational conference will offer seminars and workshops both days that will educate attendees on best practices and the best ways to deploy, utilize and manage these technologies so that those responsible for creating, implementing and maintaining fluid and effective technology solutions will now have one place they can go to acquire these skill sets, examine all the latest technologies first hand, and learn to extract additional value from these investments.
“Today’s tech-savvy students expect our services to leverage technology in intuitive and innovative ways,” says Holli Drewry, assistant director of communications and innovative technology, Virginia Tech (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University). “EduCOMM will give me the opportunity to explore what’s new, find new ways to use existing resources, and learn best-practices from communications thought leaders that I will be able to use right away when I return to my campus.”
Ed Dickison, manager communications services, University of Notre Dame, says, “Since all of the conferences I have attended lately are targeted to the consumer/commercial spaces, I am really looking forward to the Higher Education targeting where I can discuss issues and solutions with individual from other universities similar to Notre Dame.”
