Registration is now open for the third annual RCD Nexus Day, a one-day workshop and networking event for research computing and data (RCD) professionals on Sunday, July 21 from 8:30am to 6:30pm preceding the ACM PEARC24 Conference in Providence, RI. RCD Nexus Day is an official PEARC co-located event, and there’s no additional cost to attend.
The event will be held at the main conference venue, the Rhode Island Convention Center. Space is limited and we’ve filled up in the past, so register early!
Last year’s Nexus Day was full of energy. Join us and let’s make the 3rd year even better!
Travel support is available for a limited number of applicants, with preference given to those at smaller institutions and programs who would not otherwise be able to attend the PEARC conference. Apply for travel support before May 17, 2024 using the event registration form.
RCD Nexus is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant OAC-2100003.
