Blaze new trails with your institutional data
Join us for the second stop of our regional roadshow in the heart of Aggieland, at the Texas A&M Hotel and Conference Center. We’re moving beyond the basics to tackle the high-stakes frontier of AI readiness, workforce alignment, and the art of data storytelling. Whether you’re a HelioCampus partner or a "data-curious" colleague, you’ll leave with new ideas for your institution’s future.
AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS
Formal agenda forthcoming. Sessions kick off with breakfast at 8:00AM on April 23, and conclude with lunch at 12:00PM on April 24. Hotel rooms available at a discounted rate for event attendees. Booking link provided after registration.
High Stakes Strategy Showdown
Role play that your team has just been handed $8M in strategic funds and a mandate from the President. In this high-energy, competition-style workshop, you’ll make the calls on where to invest and watch in real-time as those decisions play out. It’s a fast-paced lesson in tradeoffs and risk that culminates in a keynote from HelioCampus CEO Darren Catalano on navigating today’s institutional landscape.
The New Frontier: From Assessment to CLR
You’ve already done the hard work of mapping curriculum and collecting evidence—now it’s time to show the world. We’ll show you how to turn your existing data into meaningful, learner-centered records without starting from scratch. Leave with a clear roadmap for connecting your current assessment efforts to a Comprehensive Learner Record that showcases student learning.
Practitioner-Led Breakout Sessions
Our breakout sessions are designed to turn insight into action. Attendees will build foundational knowledge in AI, gain best practices for assessment management and data governance, and explore labor cost spending patterns across institutions. Panels will examine how Institutional Research and academic leaders can partner more effectively to inform decisions, and how post-graduation outcomes data can demonstrate value and guide program strategy.
Dashboard & Data Show-and-Tell
In this interactive session, institutions take the mic to showcase the dashboards they’re actually using to drive decisions. From enrollment and finance to academic performance and outcomes, presenters will walk through what they built, why they built it, and how it’s being used on campus. You’ll see real examples, hear lessons learned, and leave with practical ideas you can adapt for your own environment—no theory, just what’s working.
Who should attend?
Pioneers don't go it alone. This tour stop is designed to engage data power users, data consumers, and campus leadership so you can move past dashboards and into a new frontier for your institution.
