Chapter members gathered for their second chartering chapter meeting on Tuesday, where we refined our chapter success plan, welcomed new chapter members, and received a tour of the all-new Berkshire Innovation Center, which is scheduled to officially open in February. The center provides space for startups and established firms in the fields of additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and wet labs as well as an incubation space for new companies. There is also a large classroom space that is perfect for hosting conferences. The word is getting out, and tenants are already moving in. In September, EMA Technologies announced that it was building an aerospace testing chamber at the center with support from the City of Pittsfield.
Our first talk was generously hosted by Peter Campbell, who presented a talk on challenges to performing Secrets Management at scale in a large enterprise. Thank you Peter for giving our first talk!
Many thanks to Steve Longpre and Ben Sosne from the BIC for their hospitality; this facility is a much-needed investment in the community that will pay off greatly for the Berkshires in the next decade. We can’t wait to hold our first chapter conference in this modern and inspiring space.
