Internet2 2016 Global Summit Proposals due Oct. 27

[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Good afternoon,

Please plan to join Internet2 for the 2016 Global Summit, May 15-18, 2016 in Chicago. This year's event marks a very 
special 20th anniversary celebration of our R&E community’s rich history and bright future. The call for proposals 
(CFP) for sessions, working meetings, and sponsors is now open. We hope you will consider submitting a proposal. Two 
tracks in particular will be of interest to members of this discussion group:

Cloud-Based Research, Education and Service Missions: Presentations should focus on projects, initiatives, and best 
practices related to R&E cloud solutions and applications, especially as they support community member and partner 
efforts to realize their research, education, clinical and service goals.

Cyber Security and Trust and Identity in Education and Research: Successful submissions will focus on advances within 
the TIER initiative, standards, policy and service offerings that support the future trust and federated identity 
services needs for campus, individual, and service providers in a cloud services-driven environment. Other successful 
submissions could include a focus on network and system security topics including strategies and policies for major 
security incidents, malware-related challenges, cryptography, security of cloud-based services and the unique 
challenges of network security at very high speeds.

The CFP will close on Tuesday, October 27: https://meetings.internet2.edu/2016-global-summit/call-participation/

Thank you,
Valerie
