Digital Transition & Technology: Assessing Campus Impact

AHECTA's annual conference is right for all individuals involved with operating and supporting campus communication, cable and video initiatives within higher education. Meet, network, and interact with colleagues focused on exploring emerging technologies and trends shaping today's campus environments.

The 2008 conference is sure to educate and entertain by offering attendees a balanced schedule of topical content sessions, marketplace exhibition and three special event nights all included with your conference registration.

This year's conference theme centers on examining the "Demystification of the Digital Television Transition, February 17, 2009" and how that will affect our CATV networks on campus.
