The University of Wisconsin-Madison will host Showcase, an event focused on underscoring successful campus advances, according to a Tuesday university press release.
The event will be held April 2 in Union South’s Varsity Hall and will feature break-out sessions as well as 65 poster presentations highlighting significant improvements made on the UW-Madison campus, according to the release. Many of the innovators who implemented the changes will also be present to discuss their work.
This year’s event will feature keynote speaker Dave Franchino, president and principal of Madison’s design and innovation company designconcepts. Franchino will focus his talk on topics of design thinking and how to extend these concepts to the university setting.
Other topics of discussion will include data consolidation, supervision of student workers and enhancement of student advising and career services.
Historically, Showcase has been a cause for subsequent meetings between attendees which can foster further conversation and collaboration among different campus departments, according to the release.
