Events

Welcome Reception: Pearl Street Grill & Brewery

Sunday, 6:15-9 p.m.

We kick off the 2013 conference in true Buffalo style at the Pearl Street Grill & Brewery. Join us as we take over this local hotspot down near the Waterfront district for music, games, and food that is a unique taste of the Queen City.

Hackathon 2013

Monday, 7 p.m.-finished

Calling all programmers, writers, designers, project managers – EVERYONE at HighEdWeb! Help us give back to our host city of Buffalo, NY through Hackathon 2013. We’ll join together to create a new, mobile-friendly website for The Ride For Roswell, an annual cycling event that benefits research and patient care programs at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. Fueled by food, beverages (provided by Red Bull!), music, prizes, and just the fun of a great project, we’ll create the new site in the space of a single night.

HighEdWeb AfterDark

Monday, 8-11 p.m.

After a great day of learning, enjoy dinner on your own in the great city of Buffalo. Then, as night falls, return to the conference hotel to join us in the Hyatt Atrium/Lobby for casual nibbles and time with friends.

Excursion: Asbury Hall

Tuesday, 6:30-10:30 p.m.

Join us Tuesday night as we celebrate HighEdWeb in style at Asbury Hall — aka “Babeville,” located in downtown Buffalo at the crossroads of three National and Local Historic Districts, and home to Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe records. We’ll spend the evening munching heavy hors d'oeuvres, enjoying great local music, and visiting with friends new and old — and we’d guess there will be a few fun activities and surprises, too, as you’ve come to expect and enjoy with #heweb.
