About
This event will give you a chance to understand what the new access programme will offer and to discuss technical innovations and services you will need to support your organisation in the future.
It's an opportunity to meet face-to-face to shape the future of the Janet Network.
Share your experiences
We are keen to make these workshops a platform for members to share their experiences - good and bad. If you have been involved in a recent project that you are willing to talk about informally for approximately 20 minutes, please sign up on the registration page.
You might want to share 'war stories', or talk about an infrastructure project, campus redevelopment, procurement or new technology initiative - anything you think other members would benefit from or be interested in.
