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

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.

The 2023 Community Exchange is a conference experience designed to ensure the same rich conversations, discussions, and networking opportunities akin to those offered at previous Global Summit conferences. This year’s event will allow the community to come together to present, share, and influence the services and infrastructure that underpin the work in R&E but also with an intentional focus on broadening the participation of and engagement with emerging leaders and rising professionals across a more diverse set of institutions and organizations.

Our inaugural Community Exchange is being held in Atlanta, Georgia, from May 8-11, 2023.
The 2023 Community Exchange will bring together a diverse and inclusive set of people representing the broad R&E community that include emerging leaders and seasoned community members, ranging from U.S.-based to global organizations and institutions.

From C-suite leadership to advanced technology managers and administrators, to faculty, students, researchers, and academic leadership, this diverse set of attendees will connect with colleagues, network, and cultivate new relationships, all while engaging in timely discussions from multiple perspectives to further enable and facilitate future R&E goals and service missions.
