IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS
|
|
As we come to the close of summer, there’s quite a bit to reflect on how much has happened in the months since Alliance 2016. Quite amazingly, it is already time to also start thinking about Alliance 2017. Remember, the HEUG is a place where many, if not all, of us turn to get help when we are looking to see how others are dealing with new things, when something doesn’t work quite as expected and also to share successes and challenges; “There's no such thing as failure - just waiting for success. John Osborne” Also Alliance is the place where we all get a chance to meet face-to-face. With that said:
The Call for Alliance 2017 Proposals is Open! To submit your session proposal, all you need is the topic and summary information. You can continue refining your presentation after it is selected and post it one month before the conference. Alliance 17 is the 20th anniversary and as such will be an important event. The conference will be held Monday, February 27, 2017 to Thursday, March 2nd in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand. It is the largest meeting of Higher Education & Public Sector users of Oracle Applications in the world. Time flies! Only one month before the deadline, on October 7!
Submit your proposal now about your campus’s implementation or user experience of one of the functionalities covered by Campus Community: Personal Information Management and Integration, Self-Service, Delegated Access, Search/Match and Duplicate ID detection/resolution, 3Cs, Affiliations, Constituent Transaction Management, Evaluation Management, SEVIS, Activity Guide, etc.
Session submissions can be for a regular session - 50 minutes, mini session - 30 minutes, or a deep dive - 110 minutes. The primary presenter will receive a complimentary conference registration for selected regular or deep-dive sessions. Mini-session selections will receive a 50% discount on an Early Bird registration.
Details for submitting a proposal can be found under the “Call for Proposals” tab on the Alliance 2017 website. Guidelines, submission tips, PowerPoint tips, and a PowerPoint template can all be found on this tab as well. Click here<http://www.alliance-conference.com/page/2017-proposal-information> to navigate directly to that site and submit your proposal.
The Campus Community Advisory Group looks forward to your submissions and encourage you to contact either Annik Gelineau, Track Chair or Michelle Zasada, Assistant Track Chair, with any questions.
