For five years I’ve been on the mailing list for the U of MN Digital Technology Center (DTC) and have received notice of their events. Most are too granular for even a geek like me, many require significant background in various computer science areas (I’ve attended some that turned out to be WAY over my head), but a continuing number of these events are general enough that I find myself drawn to them quarter after quarter.
What is the DTC? They say it is, “…a hub of innovation and excellence at the University of Minnesota in the digital technologies serving the industrial, educational, and public needs of the state of Minnesota and the nation. The DTC integrates research, education, and outreach in digital design, computer graphics and visualization, telecommunications, intelligent data storage and retrieval systems, multimedia, datamining, scientific computation, and other digital technologies.“
