We are better when we come together as a community. Higher ed tech managers can feel silo’d in their institutions. By supporting one another, surrounding ourselves with likeminded professionals who understand our daily challenges, we bring better solutions to our campuses. In turn, we improve our own lives. HETMA is truly for our people and by our people: AV Teams, Tech Managers, Instructional Designers, Programmers & Engineers, AV Designers, Support Teams, Manufacturer and Integrator Channel Partners, and All Who Work in Higher Ed!
We are committed to providing our members with diverse opportunities to connect with one another, learn from one another,
and be a voice that creates change. That's why membership will always be free for our higher ed members.
Topical articles, podcasts, media, case studies, and breaking news written and produced by the higher ed vertical and for the higher ed vertical.
