<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">UC Tech is the annual University of California Technology Conference (formerly known as the University of California Computing Services Conference - UCCSC). UCTech brings around 700 IT professionals,
from across the University of California, together to share knowledge to better support our Universities. UCTech welcomes all UC staff and faculty who have an association with or interest in information technology. Subjects for presentations are generally
intended for IT professionals, but numerous sessions cover broader subjects: project management, service delivery, procurement, etc. Participants include technical support staff, system administrators, unit directors and managers, librarians, information security
experts, service managers, and others. If you want to learn how other campuses address technology issues and challenges or build a network of professional IT colleagues from the UC system, you should attend UCTech 2021.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
