The Higher Education Systems & Services (HESS) Consortium is set to host its annual National Conference from November 16-18, 2026, at The Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. This event serves as a key gathering for CIOs, CFOs, and technology leaders from private, nonprofit colleges and universities across the United States. The conference agenda includes three days of member presentations, software demonstrations, and hands-on workshops. Discussions will focus on critical areas such as administrative systems, technology strategy, cybersecurity, data and artificial intelligence, and shared-service models. The HESS National Conference is designed to foster peer-driven conversations, addressing common challenges faced by private institutions in the higher education sector.
