The vendor showcase, providing both vendors and HEDW members the opportunity to discuss needs, solutions and services, will be available throughout the entire conference. We have been fortunate to attract major software providers as well as those smaller service based firms that provide guidance, development resources surrounding implementation of solutions as well as pre-packaged “all-in-one” reporting/database solutions. All vendors featured were recommended by colleagues who belong to HEDW and therefore have proven experience in higher education environments. Please visit them if you want to learn more about how experts view data management and information delivery and what they offer their clients.
The Vendor Showcase is open to Conference participants in Grand/Regency Foyer area at the following times:
- Monday (4/4): 7:00 am to 5:00 pm
