Quilt Members at Internet2 Fall Meeting: Finding Growth through Innovation

R&E networks are operating in an environment of fast-paced change with new opportunities and requirements from a growing number of stakeholders. At this week’s Internet2 Fall Member Meeting, representatives of three Quilt members will share how they managed to not only cope with change, but thrive and build the foundation for sustainable growth.

Dave Lois of WiscNet, Wendy Huntoon of 3ROX/Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and George Laskaris of NJEDge.Net will address specific questions designed to optimize community sharing and learning about strategies for adapting to change through innovation, including new applications, new service and delivery models and shared services with peers.

This panel discussion will take place on Wednesday, October 3rd from 1:15-2:45 in Liberty A/B for those in attendance at the meeting. The panel will also be webcast. I encourage anyone attending the Internet2 meeting to join the discussion on this very timely topic. Carol Farnham of MIDnet, Quilt associate member, and myself will also be adding in our perspectives.
