| Great Technical Program |

The SIGUCCS Fall Conference features two and a half days of great technical sessions offered by computing professionals just like you. These sessions will be in one of three formats. Paper sessions consist of two presentations with a similar focus, followed by a question and discussion period. Panel presentations will provide discussions on a specific topic related to various campus perspectives and approaches. Workshops devote the entire timeframe to a specific topic.
Technical Tracks will feature topics in:
|
- Customer Service
- Faculty Development
- Management
- World Wide Web

| Birds of a Feather Sessions (BOFs) |
|
Birds of a Feather sessions (BOFs) are free-form sessions that provide participants the opportunity to come up with their own topics for discussion. At the end of each conference day, BOF attendees get together with others who are seeking information about or wish to share solutions for common subjects. This is another way for conference organizers to facilitate discussions pertaining to current issues at the conference. BOF signup sheets will be available at the Conference Information area. Individuals can create their own BOF or sign up for one that interests them.
