In my Tuesday newsletter this week, there was a call for a chance to win a free High Ed Web Conference registration (not subscribed yet?

Looking for a conference on Analytics in higher education? Don’t miss the early bird deadline for SIM Tech!

UPDATE (August 31, 2010 at 12:22PM ET): Eric Olsen from Lewis University is the winner of the SIM Tech conference pass. Congratulations, Eric! Fall is always a busy conference season (very similar to summer, actually). Once we’re done with the mandatory “break” from mid-August to mid-September to welcome students, things get usually very busy in […]

Back at #eduweb for a presentation, a revolution and hopefully great conversations

I’ve just arrived at the DoubleTree Hotel in Chicago for eduWeb. My last eduWeb was in 2008: I met great folks, gave the closing keynote and… it took me 2 days to make it back home from Atlantic City due to flight delays in Philly :-) The conference starts this Monday (tomorrow) with a few […]

EduComm Conference: What happens in Vegas does NOT stay in Vegas

My latest UB column is now available in the June issue as well as online: “Embracing Web Analytics: Why and how to get a web analytics revolution started at your institution” In this column, I’m trying to make the case for the Higher Ed Online Analytics Revolution I mentioned last month on this blog. Among […]

It’s “submit-your-proposal” season in higher ed with a few call for proposals recently launched or closing soon. If you’ve never presented at a conference, why not try this year?

Get a taste of the Institutional Web Management Workshop held in the UK from your desk

I love conferences. Unfortunately, I can’t go to all of them – especially when they take place in Europe. So do most of you, I bet. That’s why I really enjoyed watching earlier this morning the live stream of the keynote given by Professor Derek Law (University of Strathclyde) at the IWMW 2009 conference held […]

As you probably know if you’ve been reading this blog for a bit, I maintain a Google calendar of higher ed events and conferences where I keep track of anything interesting for web and marketing teams.

Blogs aren’t dead… even in this Twitter age

For the past few days I’ve been busy wrapping up my presentation for the marathon 4-hour workshop I’ll give this Sunday at the AMA Symposium for Higher Education. And, I can report that blogs aren’t dead or “so 2004” as Paul Boutin would love his readers to believe after scanning his Wired article published on […]

I’m currently wrapping up putting together my slides and handouts for the following 4-hour workshop I’ll give at the AMA Symposium for Higher Education on November 16, 2008: Blogging Boot Camp: How to Start and Develop a Successful Blog Since I would have never been asked to present this workshop without this blog, I thought […]
