Presentation proposals for CLAC 2023 are now closed

Please contact the CLAC at Mac Planning Committee at clac2023@macalester.edu if you have any questions or last-minute ideas.

The below information is being kept for reference.

We are currently accepting session proposals and we encourage attendees to actively participate by leading a presentation, panel,  lightning round. We are also experimenting with some new presentation formats to encourage connection across our institutions. The most creative presentation format wins a free registration. The types of presentation are:

  • 45-minute solo or group presentation

  • 45-minute roundtable or panel discussion on leadership, philosophy, new trends in our field

  • 10-minute lightning round talk on a technical subject

  • Birds-of-a-feather informal topic based group discussions with facilitator

  • Something new and cool that you’ve always wanted to try

We welcome all topics related to information technology in higher education and encourage proposals from any member of your organization from intern to CIO. Topical areas might include, but aren’t limited to:

  • The post covid classroom and universal design

  • The student experience – navigating our technology pathways with portals and apps

  • Audit, regulations, and cyber insurance…all things Information Security

  • All things data: How we support institutional needs for data and data governance

  • IT leadership and management post-covid

If you are excited to lead a discussion or participate on a panel of our choosing, let us know in the form and we will reach out with topic ideas.

The CLAC at Mac 2023 Proposal Submission (gform) deadline is April 21. Decisions will be announced on April 28, 2023.

As we know that travel budgets at many institutions may still be limited, we will waive the registration fee for one presenter per institution at the 2023 Annual CLAC Conference. Please wait to complete registration until after your proposal has been reviewed. In the event that more than one presenter from your institution has been selected, we will notify all presenters with clear instructions on how to proceed with registration.
