FAQ/Help
Event Info
What will be covered at the NLIT 2023 Small Byte?
Who provides our nation with its strategic scientific and technological capabilities?
It's a large, dedicated group of professionals from the Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories. This elite group executes long-term government scientific and technological missions, often with complex security, safety, project management or other operational challenges. And once a year, these colleagues get together for the NLIT (National Laboratories Information Technology) Summit to discuss IT and cybersecurity issues that are unique to the national laboratory system.
To stay connected between annual Summits, the NLIT Society hosts bimonthly virtual sessions to encourage collaboration and discuss hot topics within the community. The February 16 Small Byte is led by members of the NLIT Committee who will announce the location and dates of the 2023 NLIT Summit, release anticipated tracks for the event, answer questions about abstract submission, provide information on registration and hotels, and address any comments/questions from the general audience.

All participants are automatically entered into the community, but you can leave at any time. Messages stay within the community for this event so they will not be sent via email.
