The Right Connection 2019 | Wrap Up

CENIC’s annual three-day conference brought together over 400 leaders from the research, education, and technology communities to share successes that have come from leveraging CENIC’s California Research and Education Network(CalREN). The conference featured 46 sessions with 98 presenters and was held in La Jolla, co-located at the Estancia Hotel and in Atkinson Hall, the UC San Diego home of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology's (Calit2) Qualcomm Institute.

In workshop sessions, conference participants learned about and discussed innovative uses of the CENIC network to support diverse California research and education projects; state-of-the-art and future network technologies; wireless technologies that extend CENIC’s network reach; cybersecurity and cyberinfrastructure; transformations in K-12 education and public libraries; broadband public policy; and new global collaborations supported by an interconnected research and education world. Many conference sessions were recorded, and these videos are now available on the CENIC YouTube channel. Also available are the presentation slides.

“The conference brought together a remarkable and diverse group of leaders from California research, education, technology industry, and policy and government sectors, along with peers from around the U.S. and representatives from nearly 20 countries to learn from one another on topics as varied as emerging network technologies and applications to issues of access, equity and affordability of high-speed broadband,” said CENIC President and CEO Louis Fox. "The seeds for new collaborations, new ideas, and new projects were planted during these three days of rich dialogue, and we look forward to seeing what grows in the months ahead."
