About the Event:

This event brought together academic researchers, industry experts, and other members of the community with a common interest in short-range wireless communications in order to:

(1) increase awareness of the local wireless communications community,

(2) share recent accomplishments of the local wireless communications community, including recent research results and the introduction of new products and services, and

(3) develop opportunities and promote cooperation between members of the local wireless communications community. 

Registration:

Thanks to generous corporate sponsorship by TELUS, Novax Industries, and Agilent Technologies, registration for this event was free of charge.

Because the event was held in a corporate facility, all attendees were asked to register in advance, and no later than the close of business on Mon, 25 Apr 2005.

Space was limited, so registrations were accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The meeting time (Friday afternoon) and place (fairly close to BC Ferries, Vancouver Airport, and the US-Canada border) were chosen to be particularly convenient for visitors from Vancouver Island, the BC Interior, Alberta, and Washington state.
