SFJAZZ Center today received the CENIC 2015 Innovations in Networking Award recognizing the Center’s innovative framework for delivering educational content and programs, as well as research collaborations, that take full advantage of the benefits of broadband access. SFJAZZ’s visionary approach is providing critical leadership in this area and can stand as a model for other performing arts organizations in California and beyond."

When SFJAZZ contemplates technology in a strategic context, fundamentally, we think in terms of how innovation can support the art form,” said SFJAZZ Director of Operations Mount Allen. “Integrating education and advanced networking technology is a cornerstone of SFJAZZ’s outreach vision. Our mantra is, “700 seats to 7 million,” in recognition of our venue capacity and the global nature of our projected impact, respectively. This impact is accomplished in coordination with the international research and education network community via CENIC and CalREN.”
