Registration is open for the first annual UCosmic Conference to be held on October 31st, in New York City. The theme this year is “Collaborative Software Development to Address Strategic Challenges in Higher Education: Kuali, VIVO and UCosmic.”
This one-day conference will focus on an institutional ecosystem of inexpensive, open-source technology solutions to enable global strategy. This conference will share best practices among three cutting-edge, open-source, higher education consortia: UCosmic® Consortium, VIVO, and Kuali.
We have an amazing group of speakers lined up, including Hao Wang, Chief Information Officer, State University of New York, Eric Denna, Chief Information Officer, The University of Utah, Randy Ozden, President and Chief Executive Officer, VivanTech, Kiki Caruson, Associate Professor, and Assistant Vice President for Research, Innovation and Global Affairs, University of South Florida and others.
We have reserved rooms at three NY hotels at really great rates. The rates expire in September, so make your reservations soon! Please note that the NYC marathon is taking place the weekend after the conference, so hotel rates are extremely high and scarce.
