WPCampus: Where WordPress Meets Higher Education

Annual Conference

The Higher Education Web Professionals Association hosts its well-known Annual Conference in the fall of each year in different cities across the United States. HighEdWeb 2016 in Memphis, Tennessee, took place over four days, offered 70+ presentations, 10 half-day intensive workshops, three focused academies and welcomed about 700 web professionals from around the world. About half of those attendees were first timers at HighEdWeb.

Thanks to sponsors like you, attendee costs were kept low while allowing experiences such as our special event at AutoZone Park,  and keynotes by Kimberly Bryant, founder of Black Girls Code, and actor/educator LeVar Burton.

HighEdWeb 2017 (#heweb17) will bring together content marketers and developers, designers and managers, programmers and writers  – along with other professionals from across the web disciplines  – this Oct. 8-11 in Hartford, Connecticut. With seven tracks of presentations, as well as two outstanding keynotes and multiple experiential workshops, we know this will be the biggest and best HighEdWeb yet.

Institutions

HighEdWeb conferences are truly international events, attracting  higher education professionals from institutions throughout the United States and beyond.
