The NLIT Summit in 2010 will take place May 23 through May 26, 2010, hosted by the NLIT Society, coordinated by Brookhaven National Laboratory.
The NLIT Summit began in April 2000 at the Coronado Club in Albuquerque. It was hosted by SNL and known then as the Tri-Lab Summit. Through the years it has grown and changed names as more labs realized what a good opportunity the summit was to get together and share ideas and issues that related to labs all around the country. The NLIT Summit today brings together representatives from across the US Department of Energy (DOE) complex to facilitate an exchange of information technology (IT) best practices and ideas.
Below is a timetable of when the summits took place and who sponsored them, as you can see only in 2002 did a Summit not take place.

About Brookhaven:
Established in 1947 on Long Island, Upton, New York, Brookhaven is a multi-program national laboratory operated by Brookhaven Science Associates for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Six Nobel Prizes have been awarded for discoveries made at the Lab.
Brookhaven has a staff of approximately 3,000 scientists, engineers, technicians and support staff and over 4,000 guest researchers annually.
Brookhaven National Laboratory's role for the DOE is to produce excellent science and advanced technology with the cooperation, support, and appropriate involvement of our scientific and local communities. The fundamental elements of the Laboratory's role in support of the four DOE strategic missions are the following:
- To conceive, design, construct, and operate complex, leading edge, user-oriented facilities in response to the needs of the DOE and the international community of users.
- To carry out basic and applied research in long-term, high-risk programs at the frontier of science.
- To develop advanced technologies that address national needs and to transfer them to other organizations and to the commercial sector.
- To disseminate technical knowledge, to educate new generations of scientists and engineers, to maintain technical capabilities in the nation's workforce, and to encourage scientific awareness in the general public.
