= Meetings =

'''GENI Engineering Conferences.'''  
The GEC is the [wiki:AboutTheGPO GPO's] regular open working meeting where researchers, developers, industrial & international partners and the GPO meet to advance infrastructure planning and prototyping for the GENI project. Further, the GEC focuses on how to design and build a suite of infrastructure that can best inspire and support creative research. The conference is open to all.  ''The dates and locations below should be considered mostly firm until registration opens.''
