LabMan 2019: The Academic Lab Management Conference Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, IL, United States, June 11-13, 2019

Submission deadline extended to June 3, 2019

Illinois Institute of Technology is honored to host LabMan 2019 in Chicago on June 11-13, 2019.

The Academic Lab Management Conference, also known as LabMan, was formed back in 2000 for professionals responsible for the maintenance of computer labs in education settings. As technology in labs continues to evolve, LabMan focuses on the overarching aspects of academic computing services which includes computer labs, bring your own device (BYOD), wireless support, classroom support, and innovation spaces for students and other patrons.

LabMan started as an informal, inexpensive, and friendly conference designed for people associated with the maintenance of computer labs in colleges, universities, K-12 school districts, or libraries. Over the years, “LabMan” has grown, and we anticipate this year’s attendance of at least 300 attendees.  

The theme for LabMan 2019 is “Exceeding “On-Demand" Expectations - It's "virtually" all in the delivery.
