Information Technology to host technology conference on Oct. 18

The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is hosting a free half-day conference for administrative and managerial professionals on Friday, Oct. 18, in Morris Library Room 752/754.

The conference, “Elevate Your Workday with Technology,” is from 9 a.m. to noon. Seats are limited, so interested participants are encouraged to RSVP as soon as possible to secure their spot. Light breakfast and coffee will be provided along with networking opportunities in the library’ first-floor rotunda 30 minutes before the conference.

The conference will feature high-level discussions on maximizing technology tools to simplify and enhance daily tasks — without delving too deeply into technical details. The topics include:

  • Unlocking the power of Microsoft Teams: Essential tips and tricks.
  • Maximize tech support: Quick and efficient help strategies.
  • Mastering Microsoft forms: Innovative ways to gather and analyze data.

Short breaks will be provided throughout, giving attendees the opportunity to check email and messages.

While the topics above are planned for this event, OIT intends to offer additional subjects and learning opportunities in the future. Anyone is welcome to email the SalukiTech Partnerships team at salukitechpartnerships@siu.edu to suggest topics that would be beneficial to them or their department. Future sessions will be scheduled based on campus interest and the availability of OIT experts.
