The planning meeting is a collaboration between the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Tulane University, Georgia Tech, and the University of Florida.

We will feature more organizations and faculty from Florida, and we are working to make more time for industry to interact with faculty, based on feedback at the Lafayette meeting. I thought you might enjoy the opportunity to attend. Your perspective would continue to be incredibly valuable to the discussion.
