Birds of a Feather Events List

Birds of a Feather (BOF) meetings are common in IEEE societies where people of similar interests and talents join for informal meetings. Share and connect with those who share interests, technologies, backgrounds. Or, just commiserate over a common bug. The term comes from the English saying “Birds of a feather flock together.” BOF sessions provide forums for conference attendees to discuss topics of mutual interest. BOFs are open to all conference attendees.

For IROS 2007 the IEEE RAS Technical Activities Board and Members Activities Board are launching BOFs. Setting up a BOF meeting is easy, just add one to this wiki!! (e-mail for login)
