Forum meetings provide opportunities to learn; to share information; to network at social events; to coordinate efforts across workgroups; to make personal contacts with potential buyers, sellers, and partners; and to work together to market the results of workgroup efforts. Outside speakers may present on a range of topics and workgroups may choose to meet during, before, or after a forum meeting.  Members of the Infrastructure & Device Forum or Software Forum will meet during the day on April 2, 2012, prior to the Monday evening 10th Anniversary Celebration.
