Group Leadership

This year we celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Safety Engineering and Risk Analysis Division (SERAD) through its forms. Please join us at the 2017 International Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition (IMECE) in Tampa, FL on Wednesday, November 8th and Thursday, November 9th for a variety of SERAD activities and events.

On that Wednesday morning before the SERAD sessions for the day, we will have a plenary session with Prof. Sankaran Mahadevan
from Vanderbilt University.

Later that evening, join us our annual Awards dinner as we mark our 65th anniversary and celebrate this year's student contest award winners. The dinner will be held at the conference location. Please RSVP to cooperj2@asme.org by November 1 for the dinner so that we can get an estimated headcount.

We will also be conducting a business meeting on Thursday, November 9th from 10AM-12PM. All are welcome to join the business meeting.

Check the conference programming guides for current room location and timing information for all activities. Registration information for IMECE can be found by visiting https://www.asme.org/events/imece/register and more information on the history of SERAD can be found at our community page on ASME.org.

I hope to see you in Tampa.
