Introduction

CalConnect Conference XXX took place on February 5-7, 2014, hosted by AOL in Dulles, Virginia. The CalConnect Conference was attended by 28 people from 12 members and 8 nonmembers (observers). The CalConnect Interoperability Test Event was held immediately prior to the Roundtable on February 3-5, and had 12 participants onsite from 8 members and one nonmember, plus two members testing remotely. An additional 21 people from 8 organizations attended the Wednesday workshop (see below) and did not attend any part of the Conference. In total, 49 people from 29 organizations attended some portion of the week.

The Conference consisted primarily of technical committee sessions, workshops and BOFs. In addition two live demonstrations of work under development were offered, as was a special session reporting on the effort to restructure the CalConnect Steering Committee. The sessions were as usual organized sequentially without competing parallel sessions, as is our standard practice, to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of each Technical Committee the opportunity to do so. The Conference finished with the CalConnect Plenary Session on Friday afternoon.
