Well, this was an interesting one. Seven simultaneous talks throughout the day, keynote speakers, and a solid exhibitor hall. What was lacking were the people. As one representative from Autodesk lamented, “where are the buyers?” And indeed – there were practically more presenters than attendees.
The talks, however, were very very cool. One of my collegues, who was both very well informed on periglacial processes as well as dealing with a multitude of completely different satellite data sources, did a talk on Martian geomorphology. I saw one guy who discussed the use of LiDAR to determine additional characteristics and extent of trees in a forest environment.
As for my talk, about seven people showed up. Perhaps three of whom I did not know. It was still early in the day (9:15ish), and the general lack of conference attendees did not help. But it was a decent talk, and I had a great time being there.
