@geant@mstdn.social🤝 Meet the #TNC26 partners – Part 2!
What else is coming back this year?

@geant@mstdn.social🤝 Meet the #TNC26 partners – Part 1!
From Platinum to Bronze, we're excited to welcome all the organisations supporting this year's edition in Helsinki 🇫🇮
What’s coming back this year?
🔸 The TNC Exchange – a lively, open space with partners’ booths, cosy meeting corners, and plenty of opportunities to connect, catch up and even get a taste of some Finnish treats!
@geant@mstdn.socialWe're officially one week away from #TNC26 🎉
Our CEO Lise Fuhr has something to share with the community as we all get ready for Helsinki 🇫🇮
It's her second TNC, and the timing couldn't be more significant. This year, we're launching the GÉANT Association Strategy 2026-2030, and the theme of Digital Sisu feels like exactly what the moment calls for.

@geant@mstdn.social✨ SIG-Marcomms Meeting Recap ✨
Our communications community gathered in Helsinki right before #TNC26 for a day of discussions and shared learning. One question was on everyone's mind: how do we move from communications as a reactive function to communications as a strategic force?
What followed were discussions on crisis communications, strategic influence and a round of Lightning…
@geant@mstdn.social @geant@mstdn.social🎤 #TNC26 Opening Plenary
Filled with music, powerful voices, and and a clear message about what comes next for our community.
From Ida Elina and Miikka Kallio's opening performance to EU Commissioner Henna Virkkunen's video address to Maria Ritola's keynote — you could feel the momentum building.
At the heart of it all: the new GÉANT Association Strategy 2026-2030.

Where are you joining us from?
@geant@mstdn.social#TNC26 hasn't even started, but we're already thinking about two keynotes we don't want to miss.
Maria Ritola will open the conference with a keynote on building successful teams and good work life in the digital age.
And Samuli Könönen will close it with a question that fits our theme Digital Sisu perfectly: what happens when the threat to your security is invisible?

@geant@mstdn.socialWhen we asked what people loved about #TNC26 Day 2, here's what they said 👇
They were about people. About being in the same room. About reconnecting and making new friends, and yes, the good weather. Thanks CSC for delivering on your promise ☀️!
