<https://energyconferencenetwork.swoogo.com/itsummit/3107336> to
present. *Deadline
for proposals is April 10th, 2023.*

*Track Descriptions:*

*Data All Over* – Share how your organization is using data to inform
decision making, solutions that connect people and systems to trust data in
useful formats, compelling reports and data visualization tools. 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.
