Invitation: ATML Focus Group General Meeting, Boston, MA - October 17-18, LXI public meeting on October 19th

All,

 

The MathWorks has committed to host the next ATML Focus Group meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct 17-18.  We are holding this meeting in parallel to the LXI meeting (which The MathWorks is also hosting) so that you have the opportunity to attend the public LXI meeting on Thursday, Oct 19.

 

I am making arrangements with the Courtyard Marriott to have our meeting in the same hotel as the LXI meeting. Because The MathWorks is paying for the meeting rooms and food, I would appreciate people RSVP early.  I would recommend that everyone stay at the Courtyard to make logistics easier as well.

 

On Wednesday night, the LXI Consortium will be having a group dinner hosted by The MathWorks and Pickering Electronics.  Please indicate when you RSVP whether you plan to attend this as well.

 

Regards,

Tom
