Topics can include, but are not limited to, the people (organization, leadership, grassroots, literacy), processes (policy, governance, assessment, strategic planning, collaboration), and/or technologies (infrastructure, analytics, visualization, collaboration/sharing) aligned to your data strategy and best practices. *Enterprise for the Modern Age* – Digital transformation depends on successful convergence of information systems and cloud computing infrastructure with a security posture that makes it all work across the breadth of a higher education institution (not just central IT). Modernizing infrastructures can increase agility and flexibility, bolster data protection, and encourage innovation. Topics in this track include cyber/infrastructure services and enterprise architecture/systems, as well as frameworks and strategies for securing the enterprise and business continuity. *Putting People First* – This track focuses on the relevance of information technology, how IT organizations socialize transformations and the critical role that IT plays in serving the needs of the entire institution. Topics include creating a modern workforce; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) with OKWIT; accessibility; performance effectiveness; collaborative initiatives related to strategic institutional, vendor, research and external partnerships; process transformations; culture change; making IT more effective; measuring the journey to excellence; efficient IT service delivery and project management including agile, DevOps, and ITIL. *Student Centered Institution* – The digital student experience affects learners across the life cycle with the institution, shaping how they are recruited, educated, retained, and engaged. How do institutional IT processes and practices enable and empower the core academic mission of teaching, learning, research, and scholarship? This track invites presentations from a range of topics including digital learning, learning technologies and space design, online and blended learning, digital credentials, research computing, accessibility and universal design, and mobile learning, *Technology Buzz* – We will continue to see an accelerated rate of digitization and virtualization of education, business and society. What emerging technologies, innovative projects, pilots, and initiatives are moving your organization forward? Sessions in this track can include but are not limited to emerging technologies (artificial intelligence, chatbots, IoT and smart devices, virtual reality, augmented reality), innovative use of technologies, product roadmaps, and digital transformation efforts.
