The Potential of Automation, Integration, and AI in Higher Education Foundations

CLA speakers: Sarah Hintz, Enid Ruiz-Mattei, Mitchell Turnbow

Join us to discuss the potential for automation, integration and AI in your foundation environment, and how you can empower and elevate those on your team using these tools. 

Where do you start and how can you use these tools in your leadership role in the next five years? We’ll discuss some examples of how automation, integration and AI are currently being used in our day-to-day — and think future forward to possibilities where these tools allow us all to work smarter, not harder. 

Come prepared to share your ideas and experiences with automation, integration and AI or any other data driven projects you’ve been involved with.
