With far-flung members across the continent, the Central European Chapter typically organizes two destination meetings each year. Typically, the Autumn (or Fall) Meeting is held in a German city and the Spring Meeting occurs in a European city outside of Germany. The weekend festivities usually begin with a Friday evening welcome dinner, continue with country presentations, a trivia quiz, and some organizational matters on Saturday, and end with optional sightseeing on Sunday. Save these dates – details subject to change.
