Join us for a day of learning, collaboration and real-world insight with the Nysernet Community including our host - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).

Nysernet Connect brings together IT, security, and network practitioners from nonprofit organizations for working sessions centered on practical insight - not theory. Spend the day in hands-on workshops with peers and experts, tackling the challenges of running and evolving today’s organizational environments. 

Explore connectivity, security, operations, and automation as part of the broader IT ecosystem. 

Exchange real experiences, investigate solutions used at peer institutions, and leave with tactics you can immediately apply.

Programming includes:

• Exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of RPI's IBM Quantum System One
• Interactive sessions built around member interest.
• Dedicated time to network with peers over lunch.
• Office hours with the Nysernet Membership team to discuss tools, services, and support aligned to your technical priorities.

Full agenda to be shared closer to the event.
