Meetings & Events

ISM-Buffalo offers its members an excellent opportunity for both networking and education through dinner meetings, as well as webinars, seminars, plant tours and social events. Our dinner meetings with professional presentations are typically held the second Wednesday. Webinars have been added to our regular schedule, typically a "lunch-time learning" event.
