The Awards Process:
All nominations will need to be submitted by end of day February 15, 2022. The NERSC Board of Directors will review the candidates and decide on the award winner. The nominating party of the winner will be notified by March 5th so they can decide whether they would like the award to be a surprise to the winner and ensure that the attendee has the opportunity to register for the conference. The award will be presented on Thursday, May 5, 2022 at the conference.

NERSC ON-DEMAND TRAININGS
NERSC is offering many of the workshops from the 23rd Annual Conference in our On-Demand Library. If you weren't able to attend all the sessions that you wanted to attend, this is your opportunity! We have several repeat courses that were offered both prior to the conference and then again at the conference. You will notice that they have different time increments. We advise you to take the course that better meets your time needs rather than take both on the same topic as some information will be repetitive.

Webinars are $35 (credit card only) and certificates of attendance will be issued.
