Local Options for International Advanced Networking Event at EWC Jan 13-18

UH Information Technology Services (ITS) is once again hosting the "Techs in Paradise" (TIP) series of technical networking workshops & meetings in January 2013 at the East West Center.  TIP 2013 brings together hundreds of participants from both the Internet2 and Asia Pacific Advanced Networking (APAN) communities, along with ESNet.  This is the only time these groups from East and West meet together; UH hosted previous TIP events in 2001, 2004 & 2008.  

Meetings start on Jan. 13 and run through Jan. 18.    Highlights include sessions on 100Gbps networks, Software Defined Networking, IPv6, advanced network performance monitoring and management, dynamic capacity assignment, advanced telemedicine sessions and demonstrations, and updates on U.S., government, and international research networks.  There are also a variety of tutorials and workshops available.

The TIP 2013 website with full program can be found at: http://events.internet2.edu/2013/tip/ 

We would love to see local folks register for and attend the meeting, tutorials and workshops.  A few additional special options for students and locals:

VOLUNTEERS - We need volunteers to assist with the conference in various capacities. This is a unique opportunity to participate and interact with the leading Internet network engineers and researchers as they showcase their "bleeding edge" applications and discoveries. By volunteering to work for a minimum of 10 hours, you will receive a cool TIP 2013 staff polo shirt.  We'll try to schedule you to support sessions you are most interested in.  Sign up to volunteer at: http://www.hawaii.edu/tip2013/volunteers.html

STUDENTS - There's a special discounted rate of $150 for FULLTIME students to attend.  You'll need to provide documentation on-site to prove your status.  You can get the student registration rate by using a special Registration Code during the online registration process: u4e629

ONE DAY RATE - There's a special rate if you just want to attend one day.  For this option, send email to tip2013-questions@internet2.edu to request details 

Hope to see you there!
