Setting a PFPNet Technical Agenda

The day will comprise Technical Workshop Sessions that will consider the question:

In 2020 we identified technical areas for PFPNet to focus on.  For those areas, what subjects still require resolution, how do we feasibly tackle them and how do we engage the right stakeholders to support success?

Two sessions will allow attendees to contribute to two workshop discussions during the day.   Attendees will be allocated to workshops.
