This Year’s Conference Theme Over the past decade, the accelerated expansion of technology has significantly disrupted the employment landscape across multiple disciplines, including Information Systems, healthcare, business, IT, education, and others. As such, analysts are projecting that technology jobs will grow by more than 20% through 2020 to outpace the rest of the U.S. workforce. One untapped tech sector experiencing seismic growth in recent years is the EdTech industry. Investment in EdTech is projected to parallel IT's growth and hit $252 billion by 2020. Like IS, EdTech, spans across multiple industries to build and expand upon the use of technology to maintain and solve organizational needs.
This year's cross-cutting theme will explore the convergence of IS and EdTech and how inter-disciplinary partnerships can be developed to address programmatic needs and prepare our graduates for the jobs of tomorrow.
