2023 Internet2 Community Exchange
Evolve, Change, and Grow with Us

The past few years have amplified our community’s attention on issues related to digital transformation, cybersecurity, the great resignation, and work/life balance, accessibility, digital divides, and the missing millions, among others. We have an opportunity to look toward our emerging future together.
The research and education (R&E) community continue to evolve, change, and grow. The global pandemic revolutionized and fundamentally changed how we communicate and collaborate. Internet2 is evolving the way we convene and serve the R&E community — one of the hallmarks of how Internet2 and our community work together to connect people, networks, technologies, and solutions that advance research, scholarship, and education.
Writer Claire L. Evans to Deliver Keynote

Claire L. Evans – thinker and maker whose diverse body of work explores ecology, technology, and culture – will deliver the opening keynote at the 2023 CommEX.
Evans will offer an insightful social history of the women visionaries at the vanguard of technology and innovation who made the internet what it is today. Hidden in plain sight, their inventions and contributions touch our lives in ways we don’t even realize. Her talk, “The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the Internet,” will take place at 8:45 a.m. ET, Tuesday, May 9.
