Autumn 2009 to Spring 2010

Meetings begin at 7:30 PM. All meetings except the October, December, and April meetings are held in the Marvin Comisky Conference Center, Blank Rome LLP at One Logan Square. The location is not straightforward to find, so we recommend looking at the Map and Photo. The October, December, and April meetings will be at the Academy of Natural Sciences.

If you have an idea for a future program, please contact the Program Committee chair, Russell Juelg.

A list of previous meetings is available.
