TBTF President and CEO to Open Computer Society Conference

The IEEE LCN (Local Computer Networks) Conference, the longest running international conference on computer communications, is coming to Clearwater Beach this October and TBTF president and CEO Heather Kenyon will open the event on Tuesday morning, October 23.

The IEEE LCN conference is the premier international conference on the leading edge of theoretical and practical aspects of computer networking. LCN is a highly interactive conference that enables an effective interchange of results and ideas among researchers, users, and product developers. For the past 36 years, major developments from high-speed local networks to the global Internet to specialized sensor networks have been reported at this conference. A number of workshops will be co-located with the conference.

Over 200 researchers, from both academia and industry, attend IEEE LCN from all over the world over a four-day period. In addition, IEEE LCN is the host to several workshops on various topics such as wireless networks, sensor networks, vehicular networks, network management, smart-grid, or internet services. Primarily research-focused, the conference is not a trade show.

How can your company get involved?

IEEE LCN is very flexible in terms of sponsorship opportunities. Typical packages – silver, gold and platinum – range from $1,000-5,000 and are explained on the website. Organizers are happy to start a discussion with any potential sponsors to understand what works best for the conference and the sponsor. For instance, a board room will be available for interviews and a video can be shown for a company.
