"I was thrilled to see participants from other states and local colleges with whom we don't have the opportunity to connect as often, as well as our long-tim colleagues from Lackawanna College, King University, New York University, and Montclair State University. Everyone was excited to learn and collaborate, and I can't say enough about the Edge team for working tirelessly to organize the successful AI Symposium."

"The Edge TeCHS contract afforded us the ability to have a vehicle that we can build a strategy design, rather than just buying software and hardware. The software is always the easy piece, but this allows us to look holistically at what avenue we can use in combine all these components and successfully build our strategies. With this contract, we've been able to develop some of our bigger projects" Learn More About TeCHs
"I too enjoy Edge events and hearing from speakers who come from different places and bring unique experiences and perspectives. I also help chair Edge’s Security Community of Practice and I like how it brings together security practitioners from the whole Edge community. This collaborative group talks about issues, security events, and we share indicators of compromise or things to look for to help block IP addresses. Together we are bringing attention to the importance of cybersecurity and risk management and how a proactive security strategy is essential at each and every organization."

“Regional research and education networks play an important role in enabling these collaborative partnerships and providing essential infrastructure that institutions need to advance their research initiatives. There is an increasing need for team science where facilities are aligned with the compute infrastructure and the regional and national networks. This allows us to do a better job creating an environment for teams to effectively work and collaborate and fill that missing middle where data intensive research happens.”
