Under the leadership of the National Science Foundation, a growing community of researchers, educators, and industry partners have designed, developed, and deployed a working prototype of the next Internet. The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) spans dozens of university campuses across the US, supporting thousands of users with access to deeply programmable cyberinfrastructure that transcends important limitations of the current Internet. The US Ignite initiative brings together corporations, cities, and their advanced application developers and learning communities to bring these new capabilities to bear in key areas of national interest, including education and workforce training, energy, transportation, health, and public safety.

On Wednesday, March 25, we will feature a special event, Beyond Today’s Internet: Experiencing a Smart Future. This event will showcase new applications running on deeply programmable cyberinfrastructure that transcends the current Internet and has the potential to completely transform how we live, work, learn and play.

A networking event with demonstrations and posters will be held the evening of Tuesday March 24 at George Washington University. Fifty teams will demonstrate next generation Internet technology and the exciting research and applications it enables.

At the conference you will learn what you can do with GENI by means of presentations and hands-on tutorials, and experience first-hand demos of next-generation applications run on this new network. Learn from engaging keynotes, tech presentations and workshops by leading researchers and visionaries. Hear from community leaders highlighting recent case studies, success stories and best practices to improve your group’s next-generation technology initiatives.
