As part of the 125th anniversary celebrations of the IEEE, we would like to invite you to a technology panel forum on 30th June 2009. This panel session features three prominent speakers who will be discussing and debating technology, innovation and history. It has been co-organised by the Victorian IEEE Women-in-Engineering group, the Victorian IEEE Communication Society and the Australian Chapter of the IEEE Society for Social Implications of Technology.

Topic: 1884 - 2009: Has 125 years of technology innovation created a better world or just a more complicated one ?

Come along and join us at 5:30 pm for refeshments before this 6:00 to 7:30 pm panel on Tuesday the 30th of June in the Village Roadshow Theatrette at the State Library of Victoria (Entry 3, via La Trobe Street).
