System and network administrators from environments as diverse as academia, large corporations and small businesses, government organizations, and research sites find LISA to be The Place to go for training, education, networking, and interacting with their peers. The conference's diverse group of participants is matched by an equally broad spectrum of activities: * Training sessions for both beginners and experienced attendees cover many administrative topics ranging from basic administrative procedures to using cutting-edge technologies. * Technical sessions present the latest developments and ideas related to system and network administration. * Invited talks and panels discuss important and timely topics and often spark lively debates and conversation. * Work-in-progress reports (WiPs) provide brief peeks at next year's innovations.
