Welcome to the Community, IRL

Our 2019 User Conference included 26 sessions, one-on-one meetings and networking opportunities.The goal was to not only educate our delegates on ways to use eRezLife, but also to engage the delegation in conversation. As anyone in higher education knows, shared learning is a powerful thing. There was laughter and excitement, questions and notetaking, and smiles and looks of inquiry—it was happening. Our community was openly sharing their struggles and successes.
