The University of New Brunswick will host the 15th annual ResNet Symposium June 21-25, 2008. The ResNet Symposium consistently draws over 300 attendees spanning the spectrum of administrators and specialists who plan, purchase, implement, and support residential information technologies at more than 275 colleges and universities in the United States, Canada and abroad.
The heart of every ResNet Symposium is the opportunity to see technology vendors display and explain their products and services in the Vendor Fair. The Vendor Fair for ResNet 2008 will be held on Tuesday, June 24 from 1:00 PM until 4:00 PM.
On behalf of the 2008 ResNet Symposium Committee, we invite you to consider the University of New Brunswick as an ideal venue to showcase your technologies and services. Now entering its 15th year, the ResNet organization has evolved from its simple roots during an informal discussion at Educom, into an internationally recognized professional organization engaging in dialogue, collaboration with vendors and other professional organizations, and professional development.
