Objective:
The University of Illinois System Data Summit is a one-day, in-person-preferred conference
bringing together faculty and staff from across the university system to explore how data
can be
used to drive strategic impact and operational excellence in higher education.
Aligned with the University of Illinois System’s vision for data strategy, to inform
decision-making, empower strategic initiatives, and enhance experiences across the
university
community, the summit will highlight how data is being used to improve access, support
student
success, and guide innovation in teaching, research, and operations.
The program features a keynote address on linking data strategy to institutional outcomes,
panel
discussions with university data leaders, and breakout sessions across two tracks: Data
Strategy
and Innovative Uses of Data. Sessions will focus on topics such as data literacy,
governance,
and practical examples of how campuses are using tools and technologies to turn data into
actionable insight.
Select portions of the event, including the keynote, panel discussions, and closing remarks,
will be livestreamed for limited virtual participation.
