UW-L Information Technology Services will host the first ever technology showcase “Technology Tomorrow, Today” from 8:30-3:30 p.m. in the lobby and the Hall of Nations in Centennial Hall. Register online by Sept. 12.
The event will highlight technologies that might be perceived as futuristic, but are actually used today. Vendors from companies such as Apple, Cisco, Intel, Dell, Sonic Foundry and many others will showcase their newest technology innovations. Local car dealerships will demonstrate state-of-the-art automotive technologies in their high technology vehicles.
Faculty will find information on the appropriate technology to create flexible classroom learning environments and game-based learning. Audiences will learn about technology-related questions from social media management to the future of reliable storage.
The event is primarily geared toward students, faculty and staff. But regional academic institutions, area health care centers and technology-related companies are also attending.
The expected technology areas to be highlighted include: computer hardware/software, productivity software, video conferencing and telepresence, video streaming, mobile computing, 3D printing, learning space furniture and design, gaming, automotive technology and related technologies.
Demonstration areas and product showcase tables will be set up in the main entrance lobby of Centennial Hall. Throughout the day, selected vendors will give 30-minute presentations about their products.
Advanced registration is required, however, participants can come and go throughout the day as they please. Follow the event on Twitter at: #TechTT2014
