In the uncertain times caused by the events that have been affecting our world in 2020, we have been evaluating all possible options regarding the format of TNC21.

At this stage we know that the event preparation and the conference will be different from previous years, but we’re planning accordingly and will keep our community up to date as regularly as possible.

As things stand, we plan to host, in conjunction with Jisc, a hybrid conference in Brighton, UK where the physical and virtual elements will coexist.  So, while we work out the best format for TNC21, we ask you to bear with us until February 2021, which is when we will be making some important decisions about the structure of our flagship event.

The conference theme remains Making Waves which successfully draws a parallel with the transformative and disruptive capabilities that digital technologies across networking, T&I and cloud services can deliver for R&E across the globe. Read more here.

We will be shortly opening the Call for Proposals for single presentations and demonstrations and our communications will follow the milestones highlighted in the Important Dates section of our website.

We will be sending more updates in the coming weeks, in the meanwhile, please visit the TNC21 website and monitor our Twitter account @TNC_GEANT.

You can also contact tnc@geant.org for any further information.
