Overview
Tennessee Cyberinfrastructure Planning Workshop (TREN Workshop 4) — Thursday, October 8, 2026, all day, in Nashville, TN.
Tennessee’s colleges and universities are coming together to develop a unified strategic plan for cyberinfrastructure — one that will guide coordinated requests to the state, strengthen collaboration among institutions, and position Tennessee higher education for real economic impact through stronger competitiveness for external funding. The workshop will be professionally facilitated by Dr. Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld.
Who should attend
The CIO and VPR/VCR (or their designee) from each Tennessee institution of higher education. Space is limited to two participants per institution — please coordinate internally.
Full agenda and hotel recommendations will follow. For now, please hold the date and register — and if you’re not the right person to attend, we’d appreciate you forwarding this directly to your institution’s CIO and VPR/VCR.
