Internet2 Technology Exchange

The Internet2 Technology Exchange (TechEX) is a technical conference bringing together network engineers, security professionals, identity experts, and CI technologists to deep-dive into the infrastructure that underpins the R&E ecosystem. Sessions often cover topics such as advanced routing, IPv6 and RPKI, automation, network performance, federated identity, security operations, and emerging CI architectures, along with hands-on tutorials and working meetings.​

Research networking, security, and CI operations teams can use TechEX to stay current on best practices, tools, and standards, and to collaborate directly with peers on operational challenges (e.g., high-speed data transfer, campus network design, IAM integration with CI services). The event also provides opportunities to engage with vendors and standards bodies, influencing the evolution of the R&E technology stack.

The 2025 Internet2 Technology Exchange, a community-centric program, was designed for the cross-pollination of ideas. Attendees had the opportunity to meet with established technical professionals and keynote speakers. Attending sessions, BoFs (bird of feathers), SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and participating in hallway conversations and networking gave participants access to peers and leaders from every facet of the higher education technical community. Held December 8-12 in Denver, Colorado, at the Sheraton Denver Downtown.
