in Banff, Canada
during October 12 - 16, 2009. The week-long event brings together an

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND HIGHLIGHTS:

Summit 09 Cloud Challenge -- Deadline Extended!
Summit 09 is hosting a live cloud challenge and is inviting entries  
for live demonstrations
of the deployment and orchestration of cloud-based services using  
underlying grid
computing infrastructures. For more details on how to enter your  
cloud demo, click here:

Has Your Research Been Transformed by Cyberinfrastructure?
Researchers who have seen their work transformed -- either from  
collaborations made
possible, remote instrumentation accessed, or mountains of data  
rendered intelligible --
are invited to participate on a panel and share their story. If you  
would like to take part,
please email summit09 at cybera.ca.

Opening Reception - Tuesday, October 13
Join us for drinks, hors d'oeuvres, and a chance to mingle and  
network with fellow
Summit 09 participants in the Max Bell Foyer and Lounge from 18:30 -  
21:30.
Also that evening, Summit 09 will offer a special Banff edition of  
CloudCamp,
hosted by Reuven Cohen, the founder of Cloud Camp, as well as the  
Unified Cloud
Interface Project, and the Cloud Interoperability Forum. This mini- 
event is an "unconference"
where early adapters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas  
and share
thoughts in open discussions.
