Connecting with the Higher Education IT Community

Laketec will be attending EDUCAUSE 2026 in Denver, joining higher education technology professionals from across the country for conversations focused on the challenges and opportunities shaping campus IT today.
Members of the Laketec team will be on-site throughout the event to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and discuss topics including infrastructure, networking, cybersecurity, cloud strategy, and operational planning within higher education environments.
The most meaningful conversations happen when we talk openly about what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’re learning along the way. I’m excited to connect with the higher education community at EDUCAUSE and exchange practical ideas that can help institutions move forward.

— Mike Trappe, Account Executive of Higher Education at Laketec
