Join us for an afternoon of higher education IT insights and connections

Higher education IT teams are being asked to embrace AI across campus while keeping their institutions secure, reliable, and cost-effective.

Join Datadog for an intimate afternoon before the EDUCAUSE opening reception. Chris Leffler, US Public Sector Sales Engineering Leader, will lead a conversation on AI and LLM observability, security and compliance across cloud and campus infrastructure, tool consolidation, and what’s ahead from Datadog.

Expect a real conversation—not a demo reel—followed by Q&A, networking, and complimentary refreshments. Open to all higher education professionals. Space is limited.
