Sheraton Hotel, Commonwealth, 3^rd Floor 

MRS is a dynamic international association with meeting programming that leads the way to technological advancements at an ever-increasing pace. But not one to rest on its laurels, MRS continues to examine the role of its meetings in the rapidly changing and expanding materials landscape.

Please join us for refreshments and an open-forum to discuss:

• How we can improve our existing meetings …
• Utilize new media …
• Provide forums for public policy discussion …
• Help educate both researchers and the public …
• and Disseminate technical and non-technical information in the most efficient manner.

The answer to these questions, and more, will help us create meetings that will best serve the broad materials community—to create a global classroom of sorts—for advancing materials and improving the quality of life!

For information on the MRS Strategic Meetings Initiative, see the President’s Letter in the November issue of the MRS Bulletin.
