Program (Subject to change)
TDU 2027 will be an exciting event with something for all user levels! Here's an overview of this year's tracks: Study Abroad, ISSS, Global Engagement, and Supercharged.
The Supercharged track is for the experts, packed with advanced sessions to take your skills to the next level. The other tracks are perfect for beginner to intermediate users, so there's something for everyone! The Global Engagement Track will feature cross-product sessions and explore products like Partnership Mangement, Travel Registry, AlertTraveler, and Dashboards.
Because some conference tracks are not product-specific, every session has a prefix in brackets, outlining which products are covered in the session. (For example, [TR] and [SA, DASH] are prefixes). Here is a legend to understand these product abbreviations and ensure you are selecting the right sessions for you!
- All = Any/All Products
- SA = Study Abroad
- ISSS NG = ISSS Next Gen
- TR = Travel Registry
- AT = AlertTraveler
- PM = Partnership Management
- DASH = Dashboards
