This event will be hybrid, but we encourage in-person attendance. Registration is free, but is required so that we can plan pizza, salad, and beverages. 

When arriving Wednesday evening, be prepared to show a government-issued photo ID, such as a drivers license, at the main gate at Wood Street. State that you are attending the IEEE Reliability meeting in the Main Cafeteria.

After parking, walk towards the main building near the flagpole. Before entering, look left, and walk down the steps. At the bottom of the steps, turn right. Walk straight through the double set of double doors and straight into the Main Cafeteria. 

Looking forward to seeing you in person!

Dan Weidman

Chair, IEEE Boston Reliability Chapter
