The Right Connection 2018 | Wrap Up

CENIC’s three-day annual conference brought together over 400 people from the research, education, and technology communities to share their successes that have come from leveraging advanced data networks, such as CalREN. Colleagues from around California, the nation, and the world met to catch up on their latest projects, and to share ideas and excitement about what more is possible with greater network capacity.

Attendees heard about innovative uses of the CalREN network to support diverse California research and education projects; state-of-the-art and future network technologies; wireless technologies that extend the CENIC footprint; cybersecurity and privacy; broadband public policy; and new global collaborations supported by an interconnected R&E world.

CENIC thanks all the speakers and participants for their dynamic contributions to the non-stop engaging presentations, conversations, and live demonstrations of cutting-edge technology. Check out photos from the awards ceremony here >

The conference could not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Titanium sponsors this year were AT&T, Cisco, and Juniper Networks. Gold sponsors were AMS.net, Arista, Aruba, Century Link, Comcast Business, Crown Castle Fiber, NCast, and Ruckus.
