IT Summit
The IT Summit, hosted by the CIO Council, is Harvard’s flagship event for more than 1,500 IT professionals and others interested in technology. The purpose of the event is to connect Harvard’s IT community to the University's mission and to each other; to celebrate the many achievements in IT at Harvard; and to look forward to exciting opportunities and innovations ahead.
IT Academy
The IT Academy offers Harvard IT staff the opportunity to participate in instructor-led courses and self-paced activities that will deepen subject matter expertise and broaden knowledge of Harvard's unique technology landscape.
IT Stakeholders’ Forum
The HUIT IT Stakeholders’ Forum provides an opportunity to hear about emerging technologies, services and policies, and applications in support of Harvard academic and administrative use cases. Learn about upcoming services, new application features and functionality, as well as process enhancements and training resources. Attendees can ask questions of subject matter experts and service owners.
The forum is open to all Harvard staff, faculty, and researchers who support, have responsibility for, or are interested in technology-related topics and use cases on campus. The forum is held virtually over Zoom and meets quarterly for one and a half hours.
