The EGI Conference 2019 will take place in Amsterdam, 6-8 May 2019, as a forum for the EGI Community to discuss the state of the art of the EGI Federation, future and emerging trends, requirements and experiences: national, local and at the level of the data center.

The event will also be an opportunity to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Operations of what is now the EGI Federation. The programme will be a mix of topical sessions, workshops and space for debate on topics related to the EGI Federation.

The Programme Committee has opened a Call for Abstracts and invites the EGI Community to submit abstracts for presentations and posters. Site managers and members of the distributed operations and technical teams are strongly encouraged to send contributions. The deadline for contributions is 8 March.

Registration for the EGI Conference will open soon.

The topics of the conference are:

• Compute, storage and data management
• Workflow, orchestration, data analytics
• Federated AAI infrastructure
• Community developments
• Techs and Ops: the Federation at work

In parallel, the EGI Conference will have topical sessions and workshops dedicated, for example, to the evolution of the Cloud Infrastructure and the Operations Board.

The EGI Foundation is also organizing a Design your e-Infrastructure Workshop on 9 May 2019. This workshop is intended for research communities and research infrastructures who wish to become active users of EGI services. The workshop is free but the number of places is limited and registration is required.
