Dayton, OH (December 8, 2005)—Peerless Technologies Corporation announced today that it has been awarded a three year contract to provide conference support services to the technical directorates of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR). Under this contract, Peerless will provide a one-stop-shop for organizing, planning, and executing special events, meetings, conferences, program reviews, scientific symposia, and workshops. Peerless’ support facilitates the interaction and exchange of information between AFOSR Program Managers, AFOSR-sponsored contractors/grantees, researchers in the Air Force and DoD laboratories, and researchers in academia and industry.
