Days are events that can serve to build interest in advanced networked applications for campuses.
The campus may not yet have an installed high performance connection, in which case the Internet2 Day can be used to initiate efforts that will make use of the network when it comes online. If the campus has its connection, the I2 Day might be used to publicize that fact and find additional users. It's also very useful to use the visit to brief I2 staff on efforts underway on your campus, to ensure that as we visit other campuses we can look for possible collaborators or information of use on your campus and likewise spread the word about your activities. The schedule has included all plenary events, plenaries with breakouts, tours through departments with small group interaction, or some combination of the above. Where possible, it's desirable to hold an I2 Day that includes all the I2 member universities in the area.
