What Happens During Breaks?

Besides coffee and snacks, during the breaks the attendees had an opportunity to network with colleagues and volunteers around the exhibition area. They also visited the booths from Boeing, National Instruments, KLD Energy Technology, IEEE-USA Career and Services, IEEE Government Relations, IEEE Membership Development, IEEE-USA S-PAC and IEEE Benefits. This is a great way to exchange ideas, best practices, and discussing issues among the Regions, Industries, and IEEE Societies. Attendees were happy to take away many giveaway goodies and the knowledge about the other activities.

Here are some highlights:
