Tracks
- Developing
- Growing
- Beyond
Developing
Creating, Designing, Planning, Deploying, Enhancing. This track is for instructors, software developers, system engineers, and anyone that develops solutions, content, or the platforms that connect or run them.
Using
Teaching, Learning, Practicing, Running, Consuming. This track is for sharing case studies, effective practices, lessons learned, and other strategies to help your colleagues using Apereo software and other applications or services around the globe.
Growing
Advocating, Leading, Expanding, Governing, Connecting. This track is for promoting solutions, bridging communities, and increasing adoption of academic software, solutions, and practices.
Beyond
There are many ways to share knowledge and inspire solutions, and they don't always fit into tidy labels. This track is for all other presentation proposals that go beyond developing, using, and growing.
Suggestions
(~awills) Perhaps use the word Advocacy (or maybe Management) for this track name? The description could include things like "evangelism, governance, and other topics that don't fit into developing or using."
I do like the word Advocacy. I think a description which includes awareness, incentivizing, education and governance would be very helpful (Some conferences put these in a "Leadership" track).

Track Sessions
The conference session presentations will run for 45 minutes with an open format. Presentations can be information sessions, panel discussions, or other speaking events. For information sessions, we recommend 30 minutes for the presentation and 15 minutes reserved for audience questions and answers. We DO NOT require presentations to center on Apereo products or projects. When developing presentations, please consider the issues, opportunities, and innovations that are most central to best practices and/or success in technology-enabled teaching, learning, and research.
Birds of a Feather Discussion
Please suggest a topic for informal collaboration and discussion. There is no need to prepare a presentation for these sessions. This is simply an opportunity for like-minded folk to meet and share.
Tech Demonstrations
One evening during the conference community members will gather to eat, drink and share innovations. Please consider providing a demo of your work and discussing it with community members in an informal setting. The conference will provide a table and access to electricity. We unfortunately cannot provide a screen and projector for each table. If you would like us to assist you in coordinating this with the hotel for a fee, please note that on your submission.
