Who should attend: Sessions are geared for HCM users, Finance users, and “cross-topics” (both HCM & FIN). NOTE: This is not intended to be training!

Intended goal/outcome: As a team, participate in a variety of sessions and then share with one another after. Disseminate info to your own user community.

Who’s presenting? This is a district-run event! Facilitators and guest speakers are intended to be from the districts and charter schools. The planning committee will reach out to look for people to take 5-10 minute “spots” at sessions to share your experiences, insights, and tips. If you would like to present on a topic, please email lfreetrout@sdcoe.net and she will get you connected.

Costs: There is no conference fee for attendees (free).

Parking: Due to limited space, please plan to carpool. Cars and vans with 4+ people will have access to free valet parking in the SDCOE parking lot (Fleet Services area).

FAQs

Q: What's new this year?

  • More advanced topic, more "pinpointed" topics

  • Three specific hands-on Excel topics to help you do more with your queries: Pivot tables, vlookups, macros

Q: Can I park my electric vehicle at SDCOE on the day of the conference?

Yes, if there is space, and also if you have a Chargepoint account linked to SDCOE (there is a process and approval for this). Please see https://www.sdcoe.net/business-services/facilities/Pages/electric-vehicles.aspx. It is important to consider that once the charge is complete, you will need to move your car, otherwise you will continue to be charged a fee. Parking might be impacted on the day of the conference and spaces might be limited.
