For over
30 years, computing professionals and decision makers from the
entire University of North Carolina system have held annual
statewide conferences. For the directors, managers, support staff
and users of IT in the University’s sixteen-campus system,
the UNC CAUSE conferences have become a popular tradition and an
important on-going education program. Typically the UNC CAUSE conference
attracts around 300 attendees.
This year,
conferees will meet in Wilmington, North Carolina on November
12 – 14 to explore the conference theme: “UNC@ITs
best”
