The Defrag Ohio Lorain conference is jointly organized and supported by the Lorain County Community College (LCCC), the Division of Math and Science, the LCCC Foundation, and The Institute for Open Economic Networks (I-Open). We wish to thank the college departments providing technical, marketing and conference support, with a special thanks to the staff of the John A. Spitzer Conference Center and the Stocker Arts Center.

The conference offers an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to address our innovation imperative in rich media, with a focus on education and workforce development. At the conference we will learn about new research, models and projects envisioning alternate futures. Unlike any other time in the history of civilization, we are required to work collaboratively as leaders and in teams to identify gateway solutions capable of the scale and interactivity needed to address critical world challenges, such as climate change, renewable energies and urban re-densification.

Hand Turkey Studios’ Jason van Gumster will be at this conference talking about the Red Hat High program and assisting with the sessions on Saturday. More information on Jason’s presentation can be found on the Defrag Conference Blog.

Come to the annual meeting on March 27 to socialize, elect new officers and participate in the planning session for 2004-2008. Outstanding service awards will be presented.

The meeting is scheduled to be held from 6:00 PM until 8:30 PM at ArtWorks (320 Hull St., Richmond, VA).
