Higher Education Data Warehousing Forum

Kick off the HEDW 2010 conference by joining the HEDW Executive Committee and your peers on Sunday evening, April 18th at the Albany Marriott. This will be an informal event to get to know each other, pick up your conference materials and enjoy our evening. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Vice President for Information Services and Technology and CIO, John Kolb ‘79, will offer words of welcome to the conference participants.

We will, again, offer participants the opportunity to visit our Vendor Pavilion, both on Sunday afternoon as well as throughout the entire conference. These vendors represent both major firms as well as smaller service-based firms that provide both guidance and development resources surrounding implementation of solutions as well as pre-packaged "all-in-one" reporting and database solutions. On Sunday, the Vendor Pavilion will be open from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
