Dine and Learn: Flexible product development: liberate your product innovation from stages and gates.
The Denver Section would like to invite you to join us for the latest presentation in our Dine and Learn series!
Come join your fellow IEEE members and local engineers for a fun filled evening of appetizers, networking, and dinner, while we discover exciting new innovations in technology. Once a month one of your local Denver IEEE Societies will host the event and bring in a unique speaker related to their field to present. This provides you, our members, with a unique opportunity to explore and learn about exciting new technologies being developed around you. Early on in the evening you’ll also have ample opportunity to mingle with your fellow engineers and colleagues delving into a broad range of technical expertise.
We will provide the appetizers, but dinner is at your own expense. Dinner for students is free.
If there is a specific speaker or topic you find interesting please let us know and we will try to accommodate it in the schedule.
