DENVER, CO --- inSORS Integrated Communications, Inc., a Chicago-based communications firm, played an integral role in the first truly global technical conference on the Access Grid.

At the annual SC Global 2001 conference, held this year on November 10-16 in Denver, inSORS assisted the SC Global team in creating the first worldwide conference utilizing the Access Grid: a multinational and multicultural meeting place for communication and discussion of ideas relating to high-end computing and networking and their impacts on communications within science and society.

To participate in this ground breaking event, inSORS provided servers for Argonne National Laboratory's Voyager Record and Playback system, which captures Access Grid node sessions for future reference. Additionally, inSORS provided a valuable resource for the development of the Voyager system at the conference, as well as design and development of the SC Global Virtual Venue.

inSORS' Director of Enhanced Communications Jim Miller further provided roving technical support for all the conference rooms used within the SC Global program throughout the week.

"This was a great coming out party for the Access Grid and its related technologies," said Miller, "and we at inSORS are extremely delighted to have been able to participate and lend our expertise to the conference. We are looking forward to a continued relationship with the SC Global organization."
