SIM Tech 2009

Some conferences generate “buzz.” But last year’s SIM Tech conference generated so many “tweets,” we vaulted to the #1 spot on Twitter!

This year, join savvy colleagues, thought-leading presenters, hyper-connected social media enthusiasts, and those continually advancing technologies for the newest successful strategies in higher education.

Especially given the extraordinary economic realities, you need to learn how your peers are leveraging current and emerging technologies to move their institutions forward. How are they…

You’ll dive right in to focus on practical, hands-on strategies and tactics you can use now, based on actual successful strategies from the field. And you won’t just follow, you’ll learn how to lead!

Stamats certainly thinks this is an unfortunate situation and will watch it carefully. We have a commitment to live up to with Hyatt, unfortunately and can’t so easily get out of it. Like everyone, we’re shocked at this turn of events….

Wow, I am really looking forward to the conference; however, after reading this http://bit.ly/usZFw about the Hyatt in Boston firing their housekeeping staff, I am not so sure I want to support that particular property. Thoughts?
