The Spring 2014 IAB meeting, hosted by Virginia Tech, was a huge success!!! Several IAB members attended the board meeting and the Virginia Tech's Wireless Symposium that was collocated with the IAB meeting. The Fall 2014 IAB meeting will be at Charlottesville, VA, hosted by the University of Virginia. More information about the next meeting will be posted at the BWAC website late summer/early fall.
The next Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) meeting for BWAC is going to be hosted by Virginia Tech on May 28th-30th. For more information please visit the event page on VT's BWAC site. It is recommended that you make your hotel reservations ASAP because of a sporting event around the same dates.
