Join us on Thursday, March 18th when Penn will participate in the National Internet2 Day events taking place across the country!

ISC will be hosting interested faculty, staff, and students in the Penn Video Network videoconferencing suite located at 232A, 3401 Walnut Street. This event will feature a series of virtual presentations, demonstrations and performance events across disciplines and include netcast and interactive activities to inform and engage the Penn community about Internet2.

The day will begin at 8:00am and end at 4:30pm, but you do not need to stay the whole day. Check the agenda and drop in for the sessions that interest you, or view a live netcast of the day from your desktop.
