Event Notices From July 8-10
Join a Summer Summit for Network Mavens: Merit Network is pleased to present a one-day summit for networking professionals on Thursday, Aug. 4 at the Eagle Crest Conference Center in Ypsilanti. With all the ink and attention currently devoted to clouds, virtualization and data centers, it's easy to lose the fact that networking is the key to every organization's infrastructure and just about every modern service offering. This summertime summit is an opportunity for networkers of all levels to concentrate on the current state of networking technologies, find out what other organizations are doing within their infrastructures, and get together on a beautiful summer day. The event's program committee is developing the day's agenda, which will include presentations on current technologies and implementations, lightning-round presentations from attendees, and technical discussions. The summit will also be an opportunity to learn from select sponsoring vendors, who will be available throughout the day and during technical presentations. The agenda will begin with continental breakfast at 8:30 a.m., with presentations from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and a social hour from 4:30-6:00 p.m. Registration for individuals from Merit member organizations is $79 per attendee. Attendees from organizations that are not Merit members may attend for $99. Registration includes breakfast, lunch and refreshment breaks. Registration is available online, and payment can be made by credit card, check, or purchase order. Register now at www.merit.edu/networkers2011.
