An
Invitation to ResNet 2004

The eleventh Annual ResNet Symposium will take place June
18 - 22, 2004, in Princeton, New Jersey, at Princeton University.  Begun in 1994, this meeting consistently draws over 300 attendees spanning the spectrum of administrators and specialists who plan, purchase, implement, and support residential information technologies at over 150 colleges and universities in the United States and abroad.

We invite you to consider the ResNet Annual Symposium as an ideal venue to showcase the different technologies and services you can offer to academic institutions. With exhibit and sponsorship opportunities, our staff at ResNet stands ready to work with you. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity for companies to present the different technologies and services which they can offer to academic institutions.

  

The ResNet 2004 Annual Symposium has focus that is both comprehensive and interdisciplinary, and explores the current state of the art and at the same time helps to shape future uses of information and technology in residential computing. This breadth is demonstrated by the five principal presentation tracks in the 2004 Annual Symposium:

IT Management

Living, Learning, and Technology

Support, Training, and Staff Development

Technology and Security

Emerging Frontiers

Exhibiting
and Sponsorship Opportunities

 

At the ResNet 2004 Annual Symposium, you will have the rare opportunity to market to an audience that is comprised both of today’s practioners in residential information technology systems, and those who are at the forefront of looking at the latest developments in providing residential solutions that are likely to influence the development of those systems in the years ahead. We sincerely hope you will join us in Princeton, New Jersey in June!

About the ResNet Symposium

With the desire to accentuate the living-learning experience at academic institutions, many colleges and universities are delivering high-capacity computing and networking technology directly to students' residential living spaces. These technologies include in-room networking, residence-based computing clusters, multimedia, and distance learning. Associated with these technologies are support issues and information security concerns. Past Hosts of the ResNet Symposium:

2004: Princeton University
2003: Ferris State University
2002: University at Buffalo
2001: Stanford University
2000: University of Pennsylvania
1999: Kent State University
1998: Emory University
1997: Wellesley College
1996: Stanford University
1995: Stanford University
1994: Stanford University
 

Participants in the ResNet Symposium come from academic institutions at many different levels of residential technologies -- some schools may have had their networks in place and are asking "What's next?" while other schools may be just starting out. This mix of experience augments the information-sharing which occurs through presentations, panel discussions, roundtable conversations, and often simply through the casual and social atmosphere of the conference. Several presentation tracks are offered, allowing participants to either focus directly on their own concerns, or to get a taste of different ideas and programs.

The ResNet Symposium is the only conference of its kind which deals exclusively with residential networking technologies within academic institutions. The conference is always held at a college or university, and most participants choose to stay in a residence hall. The conference is also traditionally casual, as we recognize that a lot of the information-sharing occurs during friendly conversations and social events.

Finally, the ResNet Symposium offers a unique opportunity for companies to showcase the different technologies and services which they can offer to academic institutions. One afternoon is reserved for a Vendor Fair with dozens of companies represented. A concurrent Vendor Track allows several popular companies to give their own presentations on their services and products. Companies can simply represent themselves at the vendor fair, or take a more active role in the conference by sponsoring a meal, special event, or other type of product or service. Potential sponsors are invited to contact the current host.
