CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Attendee pre-registration for Campus Technology 2008, the 15th
annual higher education technology conference and expo, has jumped

revolutionizing education throughout the campus.

   The number of technology companies exhibiting at Campus Technology
2008 also has increased by a corresponding 30%, with 100-plus
providers scheduled to display and demonstrate their latest technology
products in the conference Exhibit Hall at the BCEC.
