Interim Meeting Picture
Interim Member Meeting - 11- 13 February 2025 | Buckhead Atlanta
Join us in Atlanta for our first Interim Member Meeting in 2025 to coordinate between projects to progress MEF work and plan future work.
The Interim Meeting is focused on cross-project work, planning, and coordination. The new topic oriented sessions will combine committees in sessions designed to allow members to contribute to the projects related to their business.
Monday, 10, February - Opening Plenary will cover MEF plans in 2025, the new membership model, certification and committee updates (Q- is the main plenary on Monday???)
Tuesday, 11 February - All-member combined sessions to discuss details on cross-committee topics (projects that affect work in other committees), certification planning, and rules and procedures updates.
Wednesday, 12 February and Thursday, 13 February will have two tracks; Business, focusing on Use Cases, Certification, and Technical, focusing on Services and APIs.
Thursday will host combined sessions to discuss progress work over the previous 3-days meeting's work; followed by a summary in the Closing Plenary.
