2015 Annual Meeting in Tampa Kicks Off

The 2015 Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Meeting kicks off today in Tampa. The meeting is on track to be the society's largest in history.

Registration opens at 1 pm and will close at 7 pm.

For the sixth year in a row, the Meet the Faculty Candidate Forum will be held Wednesday afternoon in the exhibit hall at the convention center.

The day will be capped off with the Welcome Reception held in the convention center (second floor foyer). And the inaugural LGBT Dessert Social will start at 8 pm at the Marriott Waterside (tickets are required for this event).

Student volunteers gather to prepare meeting bags

The annual tradition of student volunteers stuffing meeting bags took place Tuesday night.

Dozens of students showed up to stuff more than 3,500 bags for the meeting.

Students received credit to offset meeting registration fees; as well as a pizza feast to thank them for their efforts.
