Networking event announced

The XSEDE15 planning committee is pleased to announce a networking event will take place at the City Museum, 750 North 16th Street, allowing attendees a chance to hold meetings and network with HPC leaders. The networking event will take place after the technical program has concluded on Tuesday, July 28. The City Museum includes interactive exhibits that may include climbing, crawling, and sliding, both indoors and outdoors; be advised to dress appropriately if you wish to take part.

Housed in the 600,000 square-foot former International Shoe Company, the museum is an eclectic mixture of children’s playground, funhouse, surrealistic pavilion, and architectural marvel made out of unique, found objects. The brainchild of internationally acclaimed artist Bob Cassilly, a classically trained sculptor and serial entrepreneur, the museum opened for visitors in 1997 to the riotous approval of young and old alike.

Cassilly and his longtime crew of 20 artisans have constructed the museum from the very stuff of the city; and, as a result, it has urban roots deeper than any other institutions’. Reaching no farther than municipal borders for its reclaimed building materials, City Museum boasts features such as old chimneys, salvaged bridges, construction cranes, miles of tile, and even two abandoned planes!
