NextFlex News – February 2025
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
With Innovation Days just over a month away, I would like to highlight some features of the event, including sessions and speakers. We are looking forward to keynotes from Dr. Chuck Ormsby from AFRL and Dr. Terry Brewer from Brewer Science, plus an Education & Workforce Development keynote. You will also see a lot of familiar faces in a special 10th anniversary video montage as well as Project Update videos that we will be featuring throughout the event.
The NextFlex team will provide updates on the whereabouts of the Institute as well as our plans for the future. We will also be featuring updates from the NextFlex Nodes and panels on a variety of topics including small business, automotive, and hybrid electronics and the PCB supply chain.
To celebrate our anniversary, we will be hosting a trivia competition featuring questions about notable NextFlex events and milestones. On both the 25th and 26th, there will be a prize for the person who answers the most questions correctly. We’re looking forward to reminiscing with you during our trivia contest.
On the 27th, we will be launching Project Call 10.0. If you are unable to attend the majority of Innovation Days and can only come for the PC 10.0 Proposer’s Day and Teaming Event on the 27th or if you need to attend virtually, we have opened free registration for you: https://bit.ly/ProjectCall10
There will, as always, be many opportunities for networking, including at our exhibit hall, our Fellows dinner, our lunches, and our receptions. We want you to continue to form those lasting connections that are such a vital part of our community.
I would like to urge you all to register here before the early bird pricing ends on Friday: https://bit.ly/InnovationDays25. Take advantage of the discount while you can. I hope to see many of you at the event and am looking forward to connecting with you in person.
Sincerely,
Dan Gamota, Ph.D.
NextFlex Executive Director
