The Summit Awards
One of my favorite parts of the Education Summit is recognizing customer innovation. Tune in to the keynote presentation as seven institutions across seven categories are identified as the coveted Sumit Award winners. At Cloud for Good, we’re incredibly excited for our customers that have been nominated, including:
- Community Champion Award: Evan Thrailkill, the University of Alabama at Birmingham
- Excellence in Recruitment and Admissions Innovation: Louisiana State University
- Excellence in Advancement and Alumni Relations: Indiana University Foundation and Alumni Association
- David Perry Award for Excellence in Innovation: Dartmouth College
Customer Sessions
One of the best ways to learn is by hearing from our peers who are innovating on the Salesforce platform or are solving common education challenges. The Education Summit is packed full of customer-led sessions over seven tracks, including Advancement, Enterprise-Wide CRM, Institution Operations, K-12, Marketing, Recruitment and Admissions, and the Student Experience.
We’re also excited to take the stage with three of our customers over two sessions. Make sure to log into your agenda builder and add them to your schedule so you don’t miss them!
