Presenting Our Inaugural JAM Executive Program

Jenzabar is pleased to present our first JAM Executive Program, developed exclusively for Presidents, Vice Presidents, CFOs, CIOs, and other cabinet-level executives. The Executive Program is dedicated to taking an in-depth look at the challenges facing higher education today, with a particular focus on ways to continuously increase ROI on your vital technology investments. A highlight of the program will be a presentation from Eduventures, a worldwide authority on the higher education market.

Our day-and-a-half program schedule is designed to make sure you'll experience all the highlights of JAM 2005, beginning Thursday afternoon, June 16, with a special visit to the world-famous San Diego Zoo, including dinner and private exhibits. A full day of conference sessions will begin Friday morning, June 17, with topics presented by higher education thought leaders, Jenzabar executives, and your peers.

We hope you will take advantage of this special opportunity to collaborate and share ideas with your colleagues and higher education experts. Please join us in San Diego June 16 - 17 as we take JAM to a new level.
