Welcome Reception

Member meeting attendees value the social networking and face-to-face interactions that take place during our meetings. The Welcome Reception on Monday evening, 5 October, is a great way to share interests, launch informal collaborations, or renew existing ones.

Open Governance Meetings

Internet2's Advisory Councils and Governance & Nominations Committee meetings are open to all attendees. Attendees will again have the opportunity to see the councils in action. AOAC, AMSAC, ERAC, RAC, and GNC welcome your interest and participation. These open meetings take place on Monday, 5 October beginning with the GNC meeting from 10:30-11:30 AM, followed by the Advisory Council meetings from 1:30-3:00 PM. If you are unable to attend an open meeting, please join the chairs of the four councils and the GNC who will provide a recap of their sessions at 4:15 PM. For additional detail and meeting locations, please see the meeting program.
