PEER's 2005 Annual Meeting is moving up to northern California this year to provide a change of scenery and to facilitate participation of industry partner's from the Bay Area and Sacramento. As in past years, the meeting is organized to provide opportunities for PEER researchers and partners to engage in discussions on research accomplishments, important research needs, and strategies to address the needs. Day 1 (Friday) of the 2005 Annual Meeting will be spent in plenary sessions to examine ways in which PEER's research is impacting earthquake engineering practice and seismic hazard mitigation. Friday will conclude with a student poster session, reception and group dinner for all participants. Day 2 (Saturday) will be spent in smaller working groups, organized around thrust are and cross cutting topics, which will feature selected presentations from student and faculty researchers on current projects and outstanding needs and opportunities.

• All individuals working on PEER-funded Core and Lifelines projects (Years 7 and/or 8) are expected to attend. This includes Principal Investigators, student and post-doctoral researchers, and anyone else supported by the project.
• PEER Business and Industry Partners
• Active PEER committee members (SAC, IAB, SLC)
• Other students or industry members interested in learning more about PEER's research programs
