The Cost of Transformation: A Glimpse Into Higher Ed's Digital Future
Hear campus tech leaders’ views on 2030 risks, hiring gaps, job satisfaction & AI’s impact thus far.
Colleges and universities are struggling to keep pace with rapid technological change, according to the 2026 Survey of Campus Chief Technology/Information Officers from Inside Higher Ed and Hanover Research: Nearly half of surveyed CTOs (49 percent) indicate that the current pace of technology-driven change is unsustainable without new resources, while almost all expect IT costs to rise over the next two years.
Join us for a live webcast featuring expert panelists to discuss the survey findings and what it takes to lead on technology in today’s shifting postsecondary landscape. We'll be exploring:
- The biggest risks CTOs anticipate their institutions will face by 2030
- AI’s return on investment for their institutions, including where leaders are seeing the most tangible value and the top use cases to date
- Why there’s dissatisfaction with—and commitment to—the LMS
- What CTOs say their institutions are doing to address talent needs, beyond traditional recruitment
