WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND CUC26 

Every year, Hannon Hill, the makers of Cascade CMS, and the Clive personalization engine, hosts an online Cascade User Conference for higher education marketers, IT professionals, webmasters, and more.

This year will be no exception! CUC26 has some fantastic new speakers, new features, and will be hosted on a new platform. Here are 5 reasons we think you and your team should join this year's Cascade User Conference!

Reason # 1

A Completely Online Event

• No need to rush through the airport for CUC26! Enjoy dozens of professional presentations from the comfort of your own home, office, or home office!
• Build your own session list and come and go freely between sessions at any time.
• Sessions are classified into "Technical" and "Strategic" tracks for easier navigation.

We understand some topics may be more or less relevant to different attendees. CUC26 is all about giving you control over which topics you and your team would like to learn more about.

Reason #2

Emphasis on Networking Opportunities This Year

We heard you loud and clear! Last year, one of your biggest requests was for more networking opportunities between attendees. That's why CUC26 has placed a much larger emphasis on networking!

• Breakout sessions categorized by 8 major topics: AI, Personalization, Accessibility, Web governance, Analytics and optimization, Technical deep dives, Redesign, End user adoption
• Moderated Q&A sessions after each presentation

We understand that technical knowledge is a huge draw for some of our attendees, but networking with other Cascade CMS users is equally important to many of our attendees as well! We hope this year is a year of invaluable connections and insightful conversations.

Reason #3

Optional World-Class Cascade Training Workshops

Learn the basics of developing in Cascade, empowering you to make additions and changes to your existing digital infrastructure and marketing efforts!

The higher education sphere, as well as the marketing sector as a whole, comprises a diverse set of players.

From technical web masters to marketing leaders with competitive enrollment goals, our CUC26 Speakers offer dozens of expert-led topics that reflect the unique diversity of our CUC26 attendees.
