Theme: “Enterprise Architectures in Higher Education – Striking the Right Balance”

Balancing:

Who attended?

27 Universities from Australia and New Zealand were represented at the Symposium. 

The program was attended by 62 participants that included:

• EA staff
• Senior IT Staff

The participants were those who were just interested, starting off, needed advice, just wanted to listen, wanted to discuss if it's worth the effort, had heard a lot of talk about EA or wanted to showcase special initiatives.
