CUNY IT Conference 2025 Banner

Overview

The 24th annual CUNY IT Conference will take place on December 4-5 at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

Over the years, the CUNY IT Conference has invited us to explore the challenges and opportunities presented by technology — from "Good Moves in Hard Times," to "Opening Access," to "Us and It: CUNY in the Age of Generative AI." Along the way, we’ve examined how to connect across systems, collaborate intentionally, and reimagine the way we teach, learn, and work.
In 2025, we turn toward the future.

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and automation, how do we move forward—thoughtfully, strategically, and ethically—at CUNY? What does it mean to reimagine higher education in an AI-enhanced world, where intelligent systems are reshaping everything from the classroom to the laboratory to the library?

What opportunities—and responsibilities—do we have as educators, researchers, technologists, and administrators?

  • How is AI influencing the way we conduct, support, or disseminate research? What new questions are we asking, and what new methods are emerging?
  • How do we design curricula, teaching practices, and learning environments that account for AI as both a tool and a topic?
  • What does academic integrity look like in an age of machine-generated content and decision-making?
  • Where is AI helping us streamline operations, improve access, and reduce friction for students and faculty—and where does it raise new concerns?
  • How do we foster inclusive, human-centered innovation—and what ethical frameworks should guide our use of AI across disciplines, departments, and roles?
  • We invite proposals from across the CUNY community—as well as our colleagues in industry—that explore how AI is reshaping the work we do, the questions we ask, and the futures we imagine.

Whether you are testing new tools, designing new courses, advancing your research, refining digital pedagogy, or developing critical perspectives on emerging technologies, we hope you’ll join us in this university-wide conversation.

Let’s move forward—together.
