Welcome to LabMan 2008
The annual Academic Lab Management (LabMan) conference will be hosted by Minnesota State University, Mankato in Mankato, Minnesota on June 2nd-4th, 2008.
LabMan is an informal, inexpensive, and friendly conference designed for people associated with the maintenance of computing labs in colleges, universities, K-12 school districts or libraries.
Attendees have the opportunity to meet their colleagues from other institutions across the US & abroad who, like them, face various challenges in putting together academic computing labs & other instructional technology environments for the wide variety of needs each institution faces.
The LabMan conference provides you with up-to-date information, education and resources on the latest developments in technology trends, technologies, application implementation issues, products and services from IT experts. The best part is the low cost of $110 for early bird registration. ($150 after May 2nd)
