The Enterprise Program is an intensive two day commercially focused conference.
The enterprise program, themed “Grid in Action: Explore. Adopt. Deploy”, contains keynote presentations and panel discussions from analysts and other industry luminaries who focus on the grid deployment lifecycle within an enterprise, starting with the exploration stage, and moving through initial adoption and deployment. These panels explore the benefits of grid technologies, focus on how to adopt grids via a pilot project, and how to deploy grids more broadly in an enterprise.
Attendees will hear grid deployment experiences from companies in several industries including finance, entertainment, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, manufacturing, semiconductor design, and several others. Program speakers, representing some of the most advanced enterprise grid deployments in the world, will share the benefits that they've realized and the challenges they've faced in their organization’s use of grids.
*Seating is on a first-come first serve basis

GGF is comprised of a number of “communities of interest” who either are users of grids in their vertical or develop innovative approaches to perceived roadblocks to adoption of grids.
The Community Program emphasizes the applications and operation of grids in eScience and industrial contexts at a more technical level. The program consists of a diverse set of 30-90 minute workshops, invited talks, technical tutorials, and panels on the current and future status of Grids in different communities via demonstrations of standards-based implementations of grid software.
The Community Program brings together grid researchers, practitioners, developers and implementers from around the world with the objective to build new and strengthen existing communities of interest in grid computing. Attendees willl gain unique insights from applications and technology experts discussing innovative approaches to deploying and using grids.

Group Sessions focus on the continued development of shared approaches, grid specifications and best practices for grids.
Technical groups will meet to gather requirements, discuss best practices, review critical drafts and advance several grid specifications toward publication during this conference. The use cases, architectures, and best practices documented in these groups are making a profound impact on the broader distributed computing ecosystem.
GGF specifications lead to broadly adopted, standards-based software solutions. These group sessions are at the core of GGF's mission to lead the pervasive adoption of grid computing for research and industry.
