UC Tech is the annual University of California Technology Conference (formerly known as the University of California Computing Services Conference - UCCSC). Each summer a different UC campus hosts UC Tech. The first “conference” was at UC Santa Cruz in 1982. The focus was strictly on academic software and it was held in a conference room on campus with 21 people in attendance. This was the beginning of UC Tech. UCTech brings around 700 IT professionals, from across the University of California, together to share knowledge to better support our University.

Who should attend UC Tech?
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.
What is a UCTech Ambassador?
Ambassadors represent their UC campus in the planning and coordination of the UCTech conference. Ambassadors use communication channels and contact networks to raise awareness and enthusiasm for UCTech on their campus. Ambassadors attend UCTech and serve as a conduit of information from the conference to the members of their campus who are in attendance.
