SNIA Annual Members Virtual Symposium

Tuesday, January 26 – Thursday, January 28, 2021

We invite you to attend our 2021 Annual Members Symposium virtually this year. Registration is requested to allow for proper updates and sharing of schedule changes and important notes. Since this event is virtual, we have organized updates to members from all the current Technical Working Groups (TWG), the Forums and Initiatives (F&I) and Committees.

We would also like to share a virtual lunch session from the leadership about the 2021 vision and plans for SNIA as a whole. 

Please join us to see who our Membership Award Recipients are for 2020. As always, we are excited to share and support our membership and working groups and highlight some of the great successes of 2020!
