TEAMS 2005
March 28- April 1, 2005
Huntsville, AL
Von Braun Center—South Hall

The Technology Exposition for Advancing Multi-Market Solutions (TEAMS) Week 2005 is a gathering of students and educators, government employees and officials, business leaders and professionals—a series of events that truly offers technology for everyone.

TEAMS Week 2005, sponsored by the Huntsville Association of Technical Societies (HATS), will include multiple conferences, top-notch speakers, and nightly social events, all scheduled in and around an innovative exhibition area that hosts the highest technical companies in our region and beyond. Attendees take home a wealth of knowledge from both the conference events and from the myriad of companies who display at this event. TEAMS also hosts an educational technology tour of local federal agencies and provides academic entities over $1 million in research grants.

With more than 175 exhibitors and nine conferences last year, TEAMS Week continues to grow. For 2005, we look forward to another prosperous year.

This year, we hope to target more young professionals than ever before with a plethora of networking opportunities. We also are focusing heavily on commercial technology corporations for both participation and exhibiting. Another emphasis for TEAMS 2005 is to reach beyond our usual borders and invite in support and participation from regional levels and further, to showcase the multitude of technological advances Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley have to the world.

Please help us get your organization motivated!
