BRIITE Meetings

• Began as a one-time, ad hoc gathering to exchange ideas.

• Initially evolved into a regular, twice-yearly meeting.

• Now has become an annual meeting.

• Session formats: plenary presentations, self-organizing discussions, tech-exchange meetings.

• Lots of opportunities for informal interactions.

• Most important results of BRIITE meetings happen after everyone goes home.
