Each year there is a call for new Champions and all applications are reviewed, we only accept the crème de la crème. This year we are inducting nine passionate LabVIEW users into the LabVIEW Champions program. This year’s group is formed from all corners of the world: the United States, Australia, India, Poland and the UK. Among this group are 4 CLDs and 4 CLAs; impressive additions to the fold.
