MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR APRIL 25-26, 2006.

PLAN TO ATTEND THE 06TH ANNUAL ADVANCED NETWORKS CONFERENCE, CONVERGING MINDS: TOOLS FOR INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

For five years, scientists, researchers, academics, corporate and government professionals from across Canada and the US have attended BCNET's Advanced Networks Conference, making it the best of its kind. WHY? Because the event is created by a panel of university experts who know what the top IT and technology issues are for today’s research and higher education community.

Last year, we had over 80 presenters on board covering a wide array of leading edge topics such as innovative technologies for learning & collaboration, advanced media over high-performance networks, high performance computing and much more.

This year, BCNET is partnering with Netera and WestGrid, to develop an event where our member community comes together to share ideas and exchange information. The objective is to bring forth interesting and creative discussion for developing new technologies and applications for research and education.

Converging Minds: Tools for Innovative Solutions will be a series of interactive workshops, panels and speaking tracks around a number of member driven topics including:

Teaching & Learning Technologies
Advanced Media
Collaborations
Identity Management
Security for Advanced Networks
Network Planning
High Performance Computing
Researcher Tools
Disaster Recovery
Corporate Perspectives
