IT SUMMIT 2024

The Communications & Marketing team worked their magic, raising $44K in external funding for the 12th Annual IT Summit.

The day started with an insightful morning keynote as Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs Joe Glover teamed up with Chief Information Officer Barry Brummund for a thought-provoking dialogue on Artificial Intelligence. Throughout the day, the Student Union Grand Ballroom buzzed with energy, featuring a Navigator Expo, Open House sessions, and Birds-of-a-Feather Networking.

In the afternoon, the energy soared with an inspiring keynote from Peter Hughes, Director of Arizona Adaptive Athletics. He captivated the audience with stories from his journey, showcasing the transformative power of adaptive sports.

With 475 IT professionals and 60 inspiring speakers, the event sessions were packed with fresh ideas and innovative discussions. Attendees left energized and ready to bring new technologies and insights to their teams. A standout addition? The Engagement Arcade—a fun, interactive space with games for both solo players and teams.

This year’s IT Summit also featured a follow-up “virtual” day to engage IT professionals remotely. This provided even more content and ensured that those unable to attend in person could still participate and learn. The virtual day welcomed 364 unique attendees via Zoom.
