Host a Conference
Put Your Campus at the Center of Innovation Across SUNY
Hosting the Conference on Instruction & Technology (CIT) positions your campus as a leader in teaching, learning, and technology across the entire State University of New York system.
Each year, CIT brings together faculty, instructional designers, technologists, librarians, administrators, and industry partners from all 64 SUNY campuses — along with colleagues from institutions beyond SUNY. As host, your campus becomes the backdrop for systemwide collaboration, innovation, and visibility.
Why Host CIT?
Systemwide Exposure
Showcase your campus to colleagues from across New York State. Highlight your academic programs, signature initiatives, facilities, and the unique culture of your campus and surrounding community.
Direct Engagement with Vendors & Partners
CIT attracts a wide range of educational technology vendors and sponsors. Hosting creates valuable opportunities to strengthen partnerships, explore new solutions, and elevate your campus profile among industry leaders.
Institutional Pride & Professional Development
Engage your faculty and staff in a high-impact professional experience. Hosting provides leadership opportunities, builds cross-campus collaboration, and energizes your campus community.
Showcase Your Region
Introduce attendees to your local community — from dining and attractions to campus traditions — creating a memorable experience that reflects your institution’s character.
What to Expect
CIT is hosted annually by a different SUNY campus. While hosting requires planning and coordination, past host campuses consistently report meaningful benefits — from strengthened partnerships to lasting institutional visibility.
The success of CIT is rooted in the partnership between the host campus and SUNY’s Center for Professional Development (CPD), with clearly defined roles and responsibilities to support a smooth planning process.
