Higher education IT leaders typically wear business casual to regional summits like this, such as slacks and a collared shirt or blazer, with a jacket for an October day in Cleveland.

It was most useful for CIOs, CISOs and senior IT leaders at Ohio colleges and universities, since the one-day program was billed as covering cybersecurity, infrastructure, data strategy and AI, and the speakers included CIOs from Bowling Green State University and the University of Dayton and the University of Cincinnati's CISO. Vendors and people outside higher education would have gotten little from it, because attendance was limited to higher education institutions and Dell Technologies was the only listed sponsor; for eligible institutions the free registration made the cost a matter of travel and parking only.
