NERCOMP is accepting proposals for its 2015 conference from now until Oct 17. 

The 2015 NERCOMP Annual Conference knows we're "In IT Together," so submit a proposal to showcase solutions and strategies. Everyday actions and decisions impact one another and the future of our higher education IT community. From the frontline staff up to the CIO, we are all dependent on one another. When we come together, we can do transformative things.

The conference will take place March 30 - April 1, in PRovidence R.I.
