2020 WISEdata Conference

Event Description

Conference Mission

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction will host a free conference at the Kalahari Resort and Convention Center on March 12-13, 2020.  The conference will be on the following dates:

• Thursday, March 12 (full day)
• Friday, March 13 (half day)

The mission is to present attendees with a better understanding of state and federal reporting requirements, including any updates and changes for the 2020-21 school year, as well as to provide attendees with information related to new features and functionality in WISE applications. Sessions will include hands on labs, interactive demos with your SIS vendors, WISEsupport and DPI staff.

A primary goal of the conference is for DPI to listen to the reporting, analysis, and data usage needs of its attendees (e.g., school districts, charter schools, public and Choice schools, and CESAs).
