HEUGUM-WHEPSUG HEUG Upper Midwest Regional Conference
October 4-5, 2012
Call for Session Proposals
The Wisconsin Peoplesoft Higher Education Group (WHEPSUG), as cosponsor with the Higher Education User Group, will present its 12th Upper Midwest Oracle/PeopleSoft conference on Thursday and Friday October 4 and 5. Our location for this year’s gathering will be the Glacier Canyon Conference Center in Wisconsin Dells Wisconsin. We have lined up an excellent facility and expect to have a full day of presentations, exhibits and networking. The conference is designed to be a two day, noon to noon for an easy drive in/out event for all colleges and universities in the Upper-Midwest area.
Critical to the success of this conference will be, as always, the sessions presented by our colleagues who can showcase the work they have done, their experiences (both positive and maybe not so positive), new tools, new ideas and new approaches to their ERPs. This conference covers all aspects of PeopleSoft ERP, including Human Resources, Financials and Campus Solutions. In addition, third party tools that are in use to expand and supplement PeopleSoft are a major component of our conference.
We all have something to learn and something to teach each other. Here is your chance to help others by presenting on a topic that you do well, some lessons learned, your thoughts on where the future is taking your ERP.
Propose a session.
• Sessions can be an individual presenter or a team. Panel or roundtable sessions have proved popular in the past and are less intimidating for new presenters.
• They can be from institutional staff alone or done in conjunction with a vendor who has made an impact on your implementation.
• Sessions are intentionally only 45 minutes long so your prep is reasonable but you have to be concise.
• Longer (up to 3 hour) pre-conference sessions are possible on Thursday morning for topics that require more in-depth time.
• Vendors are welcomed to propose sessions but their proposals must not be sales oriented. It is best that vendors present with an institution which uses their services.
If presenting at a conference is new to you, don’t be shy. This is a great opportunity to present in a more intimate and comfortable environment than you will find at the large Alliance conference. If you are an old hand at presentations, you know how rewarding it can be, so come do it again.
