Call for Side Meetings

-NOW CLOSED-

One of the many benefits of member meetings is the opportunity to hold small working meetings (e.g. working groups, BoFs, SIGS, etc.). in conjunction with the formal meeting activities. In order to accommodate the requests for these side meetings, we will reserve incremental hotel space at times outside of the normal track sessions. To aid us in handling and filling your requests for these additional meetings, we are issuing a Call for Side Meetings with a deadline of June 30, 2010.

Meetings will be accepted based on space availability and we will attempt to accommodate all requests on a first come, first serve basis. Please Note: Side meetings should be open to all Internet2 Member Meeting attendees. If you need to schedule an invitation-only or closed meeting, Internet2 will reserve a room for you. However, you will be responsible for notifying people about the meeting yourself and you must provide your email address so others can contact you.

Your flexibility with day/time and meeting duration requests will assist us in accommodating your side meeting needs.

Request Deadline:July 30, 2010

Call for Posters
-NOW CLOSED-

Poster sessions are an intentionally low-tech forum for the exchange of information and ideas about collaborations, projects and works-in-progress. The posters convey stories through the use of graphs, diagrams, pictures, data, and narrative text displayed on 2 foam core poster boards (each approx. 30" x 40"). The posters are on display near the meeting registration area continuously throughout the 3-day meeting; participants informally discuss their presentations with meeting attendees during the staffed hours for poster sessions. In addition, poster presenters are invited to display their posters in the hotel ballroom during the Monday evening Welcome Reception.

All categories of Internet2 membership—University, Industry, Affiliate, R&E Network members, and International MOU partners—are welcome to submit proposals for poster sessions. Students are also encouraged to submit posters. (Travel stipends will be provided to successful student submitters). Each poster submission must contain:

  • Title
  • Institution or organization name
  • Brief abstract
  • Contact name and email address

Space is limited; posters will be considered on the basis of the following criteria:

  • Degree of anticipated interaction and information sharing with meeting attendees; relevance of the discussion to advancing their work
  • Impact of advanced networking and advanced applications, with an emphasis on things that are not possible or reasonable to do with the commodity Internet
  • Demonstration of the value of Internet2 to its members and how advanced networking technologies further the mission of research, teaching and learning

Submission Deadline: September 24 , 2010

Call for Sponsors

Internet2 is inviting members to sponsor the welcome reception, the international reception, meals, and refreshment breaks during the Fall 2010 Internet2 Member Meeting.
