Demonstrations and Afternoon Activities on the UCSD Campus

Wednesday, October 10, 1:00-5:30pm

On Wednesday afternoon, our University of California, San Diego (UCSD) hosts have invited Fall Member Meeting attendees to participate in a variety of activities on the UCSD campus. The highlights of the afternoon activities include advanced applications demonstrations presented by Internet2 members at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and tours of the Calit2 facility (requires ticket). The afternoon will culminate in a gala event at the Birch Aquarium, where attendees will enjoy drinks and an hors d'oeuvres buffet while exploring a stunning variety of Pacific marine life in more than 60 habitats. Bus transportation from the Town & Country Resort to the UCSD campus and from the UCSD campus to the Birch Aquarium will be provided.

Your Campus Itinerary

You are invited to plan your campus afternoon as best suits your schedule. Buses between the resort and campus will run between 1:15 and 5:00pm. The bus will drop you off at Calit2 on the UCSD campus. Starting at 5:45pm, buses will depart from Calit2 for the Birch Aquarium, with the last bus departing at 6:15pm.

Campus afternoon activities are available at the following times:

-- Advanced Applications Demos at SDSC, 1:30-5:00pm (light refreshments will be served)
