Soon it will be time for the 5th annual ASIS&T student design competition at the Annual Meeting in Seattle. I hope this recap of what happened in 2013 will encourage students to participate and others to come and cheer them on. The design competition is intense but fun. Each year teams are formed on the first day of the meeting (Sunday), and a design challenge is presented. Two days later, the teams come together to present their ideas to a distinguished panel of judges. Each member of the winning design team receives complimentary registration to the next ASIS&T Annual Meeting.
