Our 2023 Fall Member Meeting is this week, and we have a great program lined up for Quilt members, affiliates and guests at The Hyatt Regency in downtown Columbus, Ohio, on Sept. 25-27. We are looking forward to this gathering of our national Quilt community and stakeholders to collaborate, exchange resources with one another, and collectively advance networking for research and education.

Building on the success of several years of collocating events, this year’s Fall Member Meeting also coincides with the NSF Campus Cyberinfrastructure PI Workshop and KNIT 7, the third in-person FABRIC Community Workshop. It also is timed to celebrate OARnet’s 35th Anniversary and their Fall Member Meeting.

Some of the best networking minds in the country will be gathered all in one place for some exciting discussions on how R&E networks are uniquely positioned to meet today’s infrastructure challenges and to support researchers in their scientific discoveries.

Highlights of the meeting agenda include a joint networking reception, plenaries on digital equity and inclusion, and discussions around Internet for All, BEAD, and state broadband strategic planning. We also are excited to facilitate additional conversations on AI in networking, cybersecurity, innovation, quantum networking, Quilt Member Lightning Talks, and much more.

We have a dynamic program in store, and we are looking forward to the opportunity to bring all these great groups together in one place.

You can participate in social media conversations using #QuiltinOH or @TweettheQuilt.

See you in Columbus!
