Preparing for NYSCATE

Brian's office prior to NYSCATE
NYSCATE is here (timewise and location-wise)! We are hoping to see most of you at this year's conference held at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center and Hyatt Regency Hotel. Hands on workshops are being held at RIT's Golisano Center as well as a Sunday evening event on Internet2 demonstrating a Jazz Band event between Akron High School and Brighton Twelve Corners Middle School.

Sessions at NYSCATE will be recorded for podcasting so if you miss a session you may be able to hear it anytime. More information will be available at the conference Pod Quad. Look for me, Brian, there as part of the Pod Squad (I hear there are t-shirts, eBay?!)

Blogging the Conference
This is a last minute effort for those of you that are learning more about blogging and care to try it out! The ITS Community blog should be a place where we ALL share our experiences, thoughts, and ideas regarding the use of technology. So... we are looking for a few brave bloggers to be to contribute their thoughts about the conference here on the ITS Community blog. E-mail Brian if you are interested (yes, I will be blogging when I can).

ITS COMMUNITY Gathering
Monday 5:00 - 6:30 PM - Bennigans Restaurant
We are planning to meet at Bennigans located at the base of the Clarion Hotel on Main Street across from the Convention Center.

See you there!
