    OMT Events are back by popular demand providing an off-program calendar of events self-organized by OMT members off-site in non-official venues.  Members of the BPS division are welcome and encouraged to join any of the events.

    These off-program events are the perfect way for both new and established members to casually meet with a smaller group of people who share common interests.
