Interested parties are welcome to attend our open IEEE 802.11 working group sessions; you do not need to be an IEEE member to attend. There is a registration fee to defray the cost of the session.

A joint opening meeting with the Working Groups and the Technical Advisory Groups takes place at interim sessions.

New attendees should check the session agenda for a New Members meeting. This meeting (typically on Monday) will provide information on how to operate effectively within the group.

The session agenda is subject to change. Members can review and request changes to the agenda at the working group opening plenary meeting. The agenda may be revised during the session as necessary.

Attendees should bring a laptop computer (or other small form factor computing device) equipped with 802.11 connectivity for use at the meetings. This is needed to access meeting documents and draft standards and to record meeting attendance.

The working group operates under a hierarchy of IEEE, IEEE SA, IEEE 802 and IEEE 802.11 policies and procedures. You are deemed to be aware of and compliant to these rules by your participation in an 802.11 meeting.
