Hi,

In early December of 2021, we are going to have an Advanced Networking TechEXtra event. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend. Do you have a story to tell the community, some tale about supporting the cloud, leveraging a broadband grant to support your community, or anything about how you have dealt with the challenges of the past 18 months? Please consider submitting a proposal—keep reading for the details. Thanks.

Linda

Save the Date, Submit a Proposal

Are you one of the many folks who participated in the Advanced Networking track room at a past Internet2 Technology Exchange event? Are you missing the mix of reports on networking updates and community project “lessons learned” talks? Do you have a story to tell about a problem you solved over the past 18 months that speaks to the challenges some of your peers may be facing?

Then mark your calendar for a multi-day virtual gathering in early December and while you’re at it, submit a proposal by October 15
(https://www2.internet2.edu/l/66332/2021-09-21/f7cglj) to be considered for the agenda. We’re looking for both full-length talks (20- or 40-min) as well as Lightning Talks (5- or 10-min) and we need your input and stories to make this a successful event!

Your colleagues want to hear from you about your experiences in some of these areas and more:
-Plans to leverage broadband grants in your region, back-to-school upgrades, implementation of eduroam, collaboration with minority-serving institutions
-Use of infrastructure and services to support cloud, research, teaching, and learning
-Moving to a software-enabled infrastructure with use of automation, orchestration, and telemetry
-How organizations are implementing new and updated routing security protocols including MANRS, IRR, RPKI, and ROV
-Global collaborations to enable science, technology, and learning

Please save the date and plan to participate at the event December 1-3! We’ve missed seeing and hearing from you – since we can’t be in-person, we’re working to give you the best possible virtual event experience. Registration and more information on ways you can get involved coming soon. In the meantime, please submit your proposal by October 15!

https://www2.internet2.edu/l/66332/2021-09-21/f7cglj

All proposals will be reviewed by a Program Committee comprised of community experts and submitters will be contacted about the status by the end of October.
