Smart Campus
Whether they are buying a coffee or filling up gas – students, faculty and staff have been using touch less payments over the past 18 months. When they return to campus, they expect to pay for their meal, buy a parking pass, pay their tuition at the bursar’s office or interact with various entities using contactless methods. Is your campus ready to provide contactless campus experience.

Student Learning
Our traditional model of learning in the classroom with a sage-on-stage paradigm has been tested over the past 15 months. Campuses, students, and faculty have adapted to remote technologies, blended learning, flipped classrooms, and online learning at rates no one ever thought possible over the last year. As students return back to campuses, we need to rethink our classrooms to take advantage of the paradigm shifts and build better learning environments for our students.

Human Capital Management
As campuses return to business as usual, employees rethink their new work environments and their career opportunities in this new world. Campuses need to balance the increased demand for technically savvy resources with the decreased availability of such professionals. The Human Capital shortage, especially in the technology sector, can impact the effectiveness of operations if not addressed appropriately through innovative technologies, flexible work environments, and rethinking of the workforce itself.

Infrastructure Solutions
The transition to cloud infrastructure and SaaS products has only accelerated in the last couple of years. Everything from Student Information System to Parking Management Software is moving into the cloud. In this transition from on-premise to cloud systems, campuses are increasingly looking for best practices, recommendations, and security topologies to follow to support this rapid transformation. Hear from industry leaders and experts on how they are helping customers with this strategic migration.
Get Inspired with Dr. Emad Rahim
Dr. Rahim, joins our conference with his inspiring life story as a genocide survivor and refugee of the Khmer Rouge Killing Fields of Cambodia, developed the S.A.L.T. model of Surviving, Adapting, Loving, and Transforming as a means of helping him overcome the struggles of his youth, including prejudice, abuse, childhood violence, and dyslexia.
Sharing candidly from the dramatic, and sometimes heartbreaking details, Emad reveals how the leadership principles of S.A.L.T. helped him develop the courage, determination, and perseverance that led to his becoming a multi-credentialed, highly-sought-after academic executive, educator, award-winning author, mentor, and his greatest joy, husband and father.
ReInventing Education with Ben Nelson
Ben Nelson is the Founder of Minerva, and a visionary with a passion to reinvent higher education. Prior to Minerva, Nelson spent more than 10 years at Snapfish, where he helped build the company from startup to the world’s largest personal publishing service. With over 42 million transactions across 22 countries, nearly five times greater than its closest competitor, Snapfish is among the top e-commerce services in the world. Serving as CEO from 2005 through 2010, Nelson began his tenure at Snapfish by leading the company’s sale to Hewlett Packard for $300 million.
Prior to joining Snapfish, Nelson was President and CEO of Community Ventures, a network of locally branded portals for American communities.
Nelson’s passion for reforming undergraduate education was first sparked at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, where he received a B.S. in Economics. After creating a blueprint for curricular reform in his first year of school, Nelson went on to become the chair of the Student Committee on Undergraduate Education (SCUE), a pedagogical think tank that is the oldest and only non-elected student government body at the University of Pennsylvania.

Fireside Chat with Dr. Jordan Shapiro
For the past two years, the pandemic has disrupted our kids' classrooms, as well as our homes, offices, and professional workspaces. Our general lives have been upended in innumerable ways—some obvious and others subtle. What does it take to be a parent or an educator now? What does child-rearing require in such an uncertain climate? What does it mean to raise kids well? In this ‘fireside chat’ session, Dr. Jordan Shapiro will answer some of these questions, while sharing his thoughts on the role of technology in facilitating a “new normal.” He’ll provide suggestions for parents on how to become empathetic and supportive, while still maintaining rigorous intellectual expectations. He’ll teach us to encourage our children’s holistic success and prepare them for a lifetime of fulfillment.
