The 2013
Virginia Software Summit will take place on August 5, 2013 at James Madison
University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The program is tentatively scheduled

Summit: The Virginia Software Summit brings together higher ed and our software
vendor partners to discuss innovative, improved and more cost effective ways to
provision software for faculty, researchers, staff and students. From
licensing negotiation to tracking and reporting software use, managing software
is complex. The emergence of cloud computing and continued economic pressure
adds complexity to an already challenging software management environment for
platform vendors, application vendors and higher education software consumers. See the Virginia
Software Summit site for information on past events: http://virginiasoftwaresummit.org
