The AUTM Eastern Region Meeting takes place May 23-25 in Baltimore, Maryland. We're excited to report that more than 100 AUTM members are registered to attend. We had planned to issue a press release announcing several of our meeting participants, along with a small sample of the technologies they have to offer, but the news cycle didn't cooperate with us, given several recent high-interest events affecting the world. That said, we plan to share via Twitter the names of several institutions who will be joining us. If you plan on attending, please feel free to Tweet the news using the hashtag #AUTMEastern2011.
In the meantime, below is just a small sample of the technologies being offered by the institutions of AUTM members attending the Eastern Region Meeting.
