Call for Proposals Ends Today!

Today is the deadline for submission of sessions for the October 8 - 9, 2015 Midwest Regional HEUG conference at the Hilton Garden Inn in St. Charles, IL. Don’t miss your chance to talk about what you and your teams have done in any area of PeopleSoft implementation or third party product integration.

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.
  • Presentations can be institutional staff alone or done in conjunction with a vendor who has made an impact on your project. 
  • Vendors who are sponsors are welcome to propose sessions but their proposals must not be sales oriented.  It is preferred that vendors partner with an institution that uses their services.
  • Sessions are 50 minutes long.  You should plan to allow time for questions at the end. 
  • Longer sessions (up to 2 hours) are possible for topics that require more in-depth coverage. These sessions will be presented on Thursday morning.
  • We usually have more proposals than session slots. We will be determining which proposals have wide interest and appeal as the submissions are evaluated. Our aim is to balance the program for HR, Financials, Campus Solutions, Research and Technology.

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.

Click here for the session proposal form link - submit your proposal no later than July 17, 2015.

If you have any questions contact the Track Chair or Scott Johnson at johnsonsd@uwosh.edu.

We look forward to seeing your proposal and hope you can join us on October 8!
