Better technology. Stronger institutions. Together.
Rooted in Kansas and Nebraska, KANE brings colleges and universities together to share expertise, strengthen cybersecurity, develop people, and get more value from technology through collaboration.
Built for higher education. Powered by peers.
KANE is a nonprofit network created by higher education institutions for higher education institutions. Technology leaders and their teams come together to share expertise, tackle common challenges, build partnerships, and accomplish more together. Our roots are in Kansas and Nebraska, but membership and collaboration are not limited to those two states.
Share Expertise
Learn from peers facing the same technology, operational, and strategic challenges.
Strengthen Cybersecurity
Build stronger security through trusted relationships, shared learning, and collective action.
Buy Smarter
Explore partnerships and collective opportunities that improve value for member institutions.
Develop People
Create opportunities for technology professionals to learn, lead, and grow together.
More than networking.
KANE members compare strategies, build shared solutions, launch joint initiatives, evaluate technology together, work with strategic partners, negotiate collectively when it makes sense, and create space for the face-to-face work that builds trust.
The result is a trusted regional network where higher education technology leaders and teams can move faster together than they could alone.
Higher education working together.
KANE brings together a growing community of colleges, universities, public systems, and strategic partners committed to helping higher education technology work better.
Where the network comes together.
KANE events create time and space for higher education technology professionals to compare notes, learn from one another, and turn relationships into action.
