At TNC23 we tested the idea of a Community Hub. It was a great success, and for TNC24 we’ve listened to your feedback and ideas and made it bigger and better!
The Hub is an informal space, where participants can learn more about community-led initiatives, find and exchange ideas, solutions or assistance within the community, and at the same time be connected with global peers. It aims at facilitating connections and innovation by offering the necessary ingredients for strategic encounters, new and inspirational collaborations, and the exchange of knowledge, with just one rule: all sessions are open to everyone.
This collaborative space has its own dedicated space, located in the corner of the Exhibition Area on Level 1 of TNC24’s main venue, Le Couvent Des Jacobins. This year, the Hub is part of the conference programme and it includes:
during the breaks, researchers and developers will demo their innovations in a dedicated corner of the Hub.
these will host walk-in sessions, such as “SIGs Marketplace”, where you can learn about ongoing activities and initiatives in the community.
a bulletin board where you can leave a project brochure, a flyer promoting a service, or a post-it note with an idea or a question. You’ll just need one copy as we encourage participants to take photos instead.
See below the schedule of the Community Hub sessions.
Need a bit more privacy? Two Ad Hoc meeting rooms at the TNC24 venue will be available from Tuesday morning to Thursday lunchtime. The rooms provide a theatre style setup that seats up to 70 in the biggest one, 30 in the other.
The sign up sheet for this is managed at the GÉANT booth. Slots are limited.
Please note that signing up can only be done during conference hours on a first come first served basis.
