CNI Spring 2020
Virtual Membership Meeting
March 30-May 30, 2020
#cni20s


Thanks to all who contributed to the meeting!


Videos & Slides

Slide decks & videos have been added to individual project briefing, plenary pages and YouTube and Vimeo channels.


The in-person Spring Member Meeting was canceled and replaced with a series of live project briefing webcasts.

Meeting registrants were sent information on how to sign up for live webcasts (continuing through Friday, May 29). Videos of most participating project briefings were made publicly available on YouTube and Vimeo.

Presenters of 30-minute and one hour sessions were sent webinar scheduling instructions (see also Information for Presenters); meeting participants were sent joining instructions. Short update presenters were contacted regarding video instructions.


Representatives from CNI member organizations gather twice annually to explore new technologies, content, and applications, to further collaboration, to analyze technology policy issues, and to catalyze the development and deployment of new projects. Each member organization may send two representatives.

Project briefings are the very heart of every membership meeting, allowing participants to interact informally about projects, initiatives, and ideas of their own choosing. Anyone may propose a project briefing, including groups/individuals from non-member institutions and organizations.

CNI Executive Director Clifford Lynch will close CNI’s Spring 2020 Virtual Meeting by reflecting on the event itself and on these unprecedented times. Join us for the final session of what has been an extraordinary meeting and find out what’s at the forefront of Cliff’s thinking about the future given the coronavirus crisis as our community navigates uncharted territory. Following Cliff’s remarks, we look forward to hearing attendees’ questions, and we invite them to share their thoughts about the virtual meeting, current events, and the challenges and opportunities facing our community.
