Ellucian, the leading provider of software and services built to power higher education, announced today that it will cancel Ellucian Live 2020 – the world’s foremost higher education technology conference that was set to take place as an in-person event in Orlando, Florida on April 5-8, 2020. Instead, Ellucian will move to an online format that will be free to all persons who were registered to attend the in-person event. All Ellucian Live 2020 associated events are also cancelled, and attendees will receive a full refund of their registration fees.
“The health and well-being of all Ellucian employees, customers and partners throughout the world is of utmost importance to me, to our Board of Directors, and to all of us at Ellucian. As more information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak became available, it became more apparent that our 2,700 customers around the world need to have their leadership available to prepare and respond to the challenges that the virus poses to their students, faculty and staff,” said Ellucian President and CEO Laura Ipsen. “We thank all who registered, as well as our partners, sponsors, and Ellucian employees who worked tirelessly to make Ellucian Live 2020 our best year yet. We look forward to seeing you online, and again in person for Ellucian Live 2021 in Anaheim, California.”
