DENVER, Colo. Sparient attended EDUCAUSE 2026, the largest annual gathering of higher education technology professionals in the world, held September 29 - October 2 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, CO.
The conference brought together thousands of CIOs, IT directors, research computing leaders, and technology providers from colleges and universities across the country. This year's programming centered on the issues reshaping campus IT strategy: the growing role of AI and agentic technologies in the workplace, building institutional data culture, cloud and digital workplace transformation, and the cybersecurity and policy challenges facing higher education institutions.
Sparient's team spent the conference on the ground, networking with CIOs, IT directors, and campus technology leaders across sessions and the exhibit floor, building new connections across the higher ed community and hearing firsthand how institutions are prioritizing modernization, AI adoption, and data strategy heading into 2027.
