Infrastructure Conference 2022: Announcing the Conference
IEEE Infrastructure 2022 will be held in Asilomar Conference Center, Pacific Grove, California, on Monday September 26 and Tuesday September 27, 2022. The conference is co-located with IC2E.
Why Infrastructure Matters more than ever - A Note From the Chair
We’ve all been learning the hard way, through two years of massive shifts in how we work, learn, and live, that infrastructure matters more than ever. As we look forward to gathering together, in person, it’s a great time to reflect on the lessons we’ve learned about operating infrastructure at scale, in many cases remotely and at dramatically new demanding levels of performance, reliability and availability. It’s also a chance to talk about the future of infrastructure as it is increasingly integrated together from edge to cloud to exascale and beyond and how physical infrastructure will enable how we will live and work in on Earth, in space and in new virtual worlds.
Tomorrow’s infrastructure won’t be just back end systems in the data center and long haul network connections. It will be billions of edge devices and sensor networks, autonomous fleets, dynamic wireless networks, exascale supercomputers and hyperscale cloud data centers. Harnessed together, this new dynamic, AI optimized, zero-trust infrastructure is the enterprise of tomorrow. Making tomorrow’s infrastructure run efficiently, sustainably and equitably will take all of the creativity, innovation, customers understanding, and research that we as the Infrastructure community have to offer. The problem sets and challenges could vary based on the business, architecture and the scale of each company, but there is something that each of us can take away when we share the challenges we faced and the solutions we’ve engineered.
Our goal for this conference is to bring together people that want to build and run infrastructure at every scale and create a community that we can all learn from each other. We hope we can share our stories, lessons learned and how we can make each other more productive through collaboration, co-design and standards. We also plan on having this conference focus on different topics and based on the feedback from the participants we will adjust the frequency, location and sessions.
The IEEE Infrastructure Conference Committees are comprised of talented individuals across a range of expertise who have voluntarily committed their time to make this event a success.

About the Event
Why Infrastructure Matters - A Note From the Chair
Infrastructures are the backend, heart and foundations of many products and companies. What I've learned throughout my career is that creativity, innovations, understanding your customers, and researching other technologies are important factors when building and running infrastructure at different scales. The problem sets and challenges could vary based on the business, architecture and the scale of each company, however, the learnings can apply uniformly independent of what industry you are in.
Our goal for this conference is to bring folks that have been or interested to be involved in building and running infrastructure at any scale and create a community that we can all learn from each other. We hope we can share our stories, lessons learned and when it makes sense even start working together on standards. We also plan on having this conference focus on different topics and based on the feedback from the participants we will adjust the frequency, location and sessions.
