Abstract :
Each year, about 5,000 AIEE members, their families, and guests attend the Winter General Meeting. They come for many reasons, all of which will be valid in 1962. The meeting will take place from January 28 through February 2, in the Statler Hilton Hotel, New York, N. Y. In 1962, there are three big extra reasons for attending: 1. The first Electrical Engineering Exposition will be held, with 100 selected educational presentations of the newest applications in all branches of electricity and electronics. 2. The new United Engineering Center will be open for inspection. 3. The proposed amalgamation of AIEE with IRE will be the subject of formal and informal discussion. These extras justify the expectation that the meeting will set a new peak in technical information content, collateral interest, and enthusiasm.
