The Northeast Region held its latest meeting September 24-26 in Natick, Massachusetts. Themed "Homeland Security Technologies from Northeast Labs," the three-day meeting was attended by technology transfer professionals from government, industry, and academia.

Following a reception on the evening of September 24 to kick off the event, the meeting began in earnest the next day at the Soldier Systems Center (SSC) in Natick. In keeping with the meeting theme, representatives from several Northeast regional laboratories, including the Transportation Safety Laboratory of Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey; the Army - Armament Research, Development, and Engineering Command of Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey; and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Newport of Rhode Island made presentations highlighting technologies that have become key elements in the nation's homeland security effort. Another highlight of the first full day of the meeting was a tour of the SSC facilities, where attendees saw some of the technology transfer projects taking place there.

The third and final day of the meeting included an update on procedural matters regarding the region, as well as an award ceremony honoring the 2007 Northeast regional award winners.
