It was with great pleasure that the University of Maine Homeland Security Lab hosted the February 12, 2003 meeting of the Atlantic Region IBET (Integrated Border Team) Communications Working Group. You can learn more about this group here.  The early part of the meeting was limited to the working group members. A large focus of the meeting was on interoperability, and various presentations were given.  Below is a schedule and some pictures (you can click on the pictures to get larger pictures).
