About

The Conference on Higher Education Computing in Kansas (CHECK) is an annual gathering of information technology professionals in post-secondary institutions in Kansas to present, discuss, and learn about new technologies and current issues in providing IT services to the higher education community. CHECK is sponsored by the Regents Information Technology Council (RITC) and coordinated by the Information Technology and Services Advisory (ITSA) subcommittee. Hosting the event rotates among the member institutions.

Sessions cover a wide variety of timely topics in a variety of formats that include an invited keynote, panel discussions, and individual presentations. It is a valuable time to hear how others around the state are addressing issues common to all of us and to network with colleagues. An evening dinner and social time offer additional opportunities for more informal interactions.

All Kansas higher education institutions are encouraged to participate; 2-year, 4-year, public, private, and technical.
