Who provides our nation with its strategic scientific and technological capabilities?

It's a large, dedicated group of professionals at 17 Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories. This elite group executes long-term government scientific and technological missions, often with complex security, safety, project management or other operational challenges. And once a year, these colleagues get together for the NLIT (National Laboratories Information Technology) Summit to discuss IT and cybersecurity issues that are unique to the national laboratory system.

A multi-day event, NLIT Summit facilitates an exchange of information management, best practices, strategies and methodologies. Each day consists of presentations, panel discussions, new equipment/technology demonstrations and information sharing.

The 2021 Virtual NLIT Summit was a huge success, with more than 100 industry companies supporting and over 850 attendees from across the DOE Complex. Past summits have included the following personnel:

IT Infrastructure Managers
IT Security Managers
IT Architects
Cybersecurity Analysts
Program Managers
Unix Systems Administrators
Computer Systems Engineers
Network Engineers
Chief Information Officers

To change the world's energy future, the DOE Laboratories will need to maintain its rapid-fire pace. They'll be looking for your products and services to help them. Don't miss out on this opportunity to meet these top DOE professionals face to face! Register now.
