PURPOSE
Curious about how your peers at other California Community Colleges that have implemented Banner are using Banner to their advantage? Would you like to learn more about new and/or existing Banner products that your District is thinking about implementing? Didn't have an opportunity to attend Banner Summit in April? Want to network with other Banner users to share best practices in your area of expertise?

Well, if you answered yes to any of these questions, you should attend the 2006 California Community College Banner Users' Group (3CBG) Conference scheduled for October 23-24, 2006. This year’s conference will be hosted at the beautiful San Diego Marriott Mission Valley across the street from the new California Community College Banner Solution Center in San Diego, California.

Last year, almost 300 of your peers from 3CBG member districts met at this conference to discuss common issues, to hear about future Banner releases and their impact on California Community Colleges, to share innovative ideas and network with one another.

Are you curious about products and services that may enhance your college’s Banner implementation or make you more effective in your role? Vendors offering products and services to California Community Colleges will be available to demonstrate their products and answer any questions you may have.

PROGRAM
For this year’s conference, sessions have been planned in five tracks: Finance, Student, HR/Payroll, Financial Aid and Special Interest, along with a pre-conference technical session scheduled for Sunday afternoon. The conference begins Monday morning with a keynote presentation, followed by a general opening session for each of the four functional area tracks (Finance, Student, HR/Payroll and Financial Aid). There will be additional sessions for each of the five tracks for a total of more than 30 California Community College focused Banner related presentations.
