The Iowa Chapter hosts an annual meeting in February or March each year. The meeting includes a formal business meeting during which awards are presented, discussions are held, and motions are voted on by the membership. Typically, about 1-1.5 days of professional and student presentations are given, along with a poster session and plenary sessions.
