Thanks 2009 Sponsors

The Ohecc Local Host Committee and State Steering Committee would like to thank all of our sponsors of the 2009 Conference. Your support helped to make this a successful conference.

Congrats to Wright State Host Committee!

What a great conference we had in 2009. Thanks to Verne Smith and his committee for a wonderful conference. The food and program was great, there were plenty of vendors to show us their newest products, and of course the entertainment was of the highest "Ohecc" quality.

OHECC Program Committee

The Ohecc Program Committee has changed its name to the Ohecc Steering Committee. We provide the same service to the host schools. We simply wanted to end the confusion between our statewide group and the local host program committee.

CIO Report

The Ohecc Steering committee has been developing a status report to present to the state CIO's. This report will detail the state of Ohecc as well as the changes and progress that has been made since the formation of the Steering Committee back in 2003.

OHECC Purpose and History

The purpose of OHECC is to foster communication between higher education IT professionals across the state. In past conferences, we have communicated and shared ideas, created state-wide problem solving committees, negotiated state-wide contracts where all schools enjoyed buying discounts, and created on going relationships between IT professionals.

The Ohio Higher Education Computing Council (OHECC) groups together Information Technology (IT) organizations and professionals within institutions of higher education in the state of Ohio. It was founded at the University of Cincinnati in the early 1970s. Ball State University and University of Louisville have since been invited and joined the organization. Originally only State universities attended OHECC but as the popularity and effectiveness of this conference increased, private, technical, and community colleges began attending OHECC. Historically, the Council has held two conferences each year, in the spring and the fall, with locations rotating between participating institutions. Beginning in 2001-2002 OHECC leadership decided to hold only one conference in the spring.

At these conferences, vendors and manufacturers of computing hardware, software, communications and networking devices and other technologies are invited as sponsors, to exhibit and demonstrate the use of their products in higher education. Presentations are made by computing professionals, faculty and others addressing topics ranging from current use and delivery of technology within higher education to future trends and prospects.
