On 18 June 2024, the New England Chapter of the Health Physics Society (NECHPS) held its annual meeting at the Bentley University Conference Center in Waltham, Massachusetts. This was the first live annual meeting event the chapter has had since 2019. The meeting was attended by over 60 members and supported by 10 vendors. The agenda consisted of a variety of topics including laser safety, advanced reactors, the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office Securing the Cities program, emergency response, current trends in radiopharmaceuticals, dosimetry comparison study, and two student presentations on the evaluation of lanthanum-bromide detectors and the assessment of aerial radiation detectors.
