The Tech Express is a series of user-friendly brown-bag
sessions on computing at Stanford. These sessions, held from
12:00 to 1:00 P.M and led by knowledgeable ITSS staff, are
intended to meet the needs of Stanford staff, but are open
to everyone, including faculty and students. No registration
is required – come by and learn something new! Bring
your lunch! Bring your questions! Drinks

Spring Tech Express sessions will be held in the Hartley
Conference Center, located on the first floor of the Mitchell
Earth Sciences Building (397 Panama Mall).
The success of these sessions depends on you! Questions
