ITRC is pleased to offer the opportunity for a “members only” spring meeting again this year. The 2010 ITRC Spring Meeting offers the opportunity for networking and further professional development. This meeting’s primary focus continues to be on our members by providing the following:
- Networking and professional development opportunities through participation in round-robin technical sessions on ITRC project content which enables members to not only contribute to or learn from their own team, but to discover more about what innovative strategies other teams are pursuing for 2010 and beyond,
- Introduction to the project proposal topics that ITRC is considering for 2011 funding via the poster session of final candidates during Tuesday’s reception, and
- Time for you to work with your current team members on solutions for your respective project(s).
You will also be able to sign up for two of five technical sessions to increase your knowledge of other projects being addressed by ITRC and to collaborate with these teams on possible solutions.
