Join an Autumn Summit for Network
Mavens
 Merit Network is
pleased to present a one-day summit for networking
professionals on Wednesday, November 2, 2011, at the Eagle
Crest Conference Center in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
With all the ink and attention currently devoted to
clouds, virtualization and data centers, it's easy to lose
the fact that networking is the key to every
organization's infrastructure and just about every modern
service offering. This autumn summit is an opportunity for
networkers of all levels to concentrate on the current
state of networking technologies, find out what other
organizations are doing within their infrastructures, and
get together on a beautiful fall day.
