Join Us for UC Tech Hosted by UC San Diego
As previously announced, UC Tech returns this August 15-17, hosted by UC San Diego. An annual conference, UC Tech brings together technologists from across the UC system to celebrate innovation and collaboration. Each day features a broad spectrum of talks and engagement opportunities to enlighten, enrich, and encourage.
UC Tech dates back to 1982 and this year’s theme is “40 Years of Connections.” After two years apart we’re celebrating the opportunity to reconnect face-to-face and bring together people, processes, systems, insights and ideas.
Below are the latest updates. Be sure to bookmark uctech.ucsd.edu<https://t.e2ma.net/click/pjebds/tmbmvclb/lk05ip> and join our email list<https://t.e2ma.net/click/pjebds/tmbmvclb/1c15ip>. Send any questions you have to uctech at ucsd.edu<mailto:uctech at ucsd.edu?subject=UC%20Tech%20inquiry>.

Covid Considerations
Our goal is to produce the closest version to a traditional UC Tech conference that you’ve come to expect. Nevertheless, there will be some limits on what we can do. The UC San Diego campus has only recently re-opened for events and gatherings. Key facilities we’d normally rely on are in use for Covid testing and vaccinations. Additionally:

  *   Overall attendance will be capped at around 400 attendees, and that includes sponsors, speakers, and other guests.
  *   UC Tech will be conducted in accordance with prevailing UC San Diego guidelines as stated on the Return to Learn website<https://t.e2ma.net/click/pjebds/tmbmvclb/9a55ip>. These guidelines are subject to change between now and August, but we’ll do our best to update on-campus attendees as the event approaches.
