Join IEEE Rochester Section members for the 2024 Antique Wireless Association Conference, October 1-5, 2024, at the RIT Inn and Conference Center in Henrietta, NY, just South of Rochester and conveniently located near the NYS Thruway. A highlight of each year is the annual gathering in the Rochester, NY area for a multi-day event of fellowship, information exchange, flea marketing, and the sharing of communications history and technology. In addition to a series of presentations and the flea market each year, an AWA Museum open house provides all the information needed to explore changes to the collection displays over the past year. Buyers and sellers can attend the flea market for free starting Thursday and running through Friday (October 3 and 4). We invite you to register for the Conference and enjoy all it offers, but you don’t need to register to sell in the flea market. Registration for the Conference includes the free dessert social on Wednesday and a free dinner at the Friday evening banquet. On Wednesday evening, you will also enjoy free admission to the Antique Wireless Museum. Registration also includes entrance to all conference events, including the Saturday auction and book fair. As always, registration for your spouse or significant other conference is free.

A key measure of a productive tech ecosystem is the successful transition of new graduates from academia into industry. With academia focusing on building a broader knowledge base, industry-readiness of students for a successful transition necessitates dynamically evolving industry-academia collaborations. This 2-event series initiated by IEEE Women in Engineering Rochester focuses on working with local partners towards the common goal of creating awareness, addressing challenges, and promoting retention of talent within the local tech ecosystem; a key focus is on DIVERSITY & INCLUSION.
