• *Demos & Exchanges:*Please note that we will have a demo and exchange session right after lunch, from 1:15 to 2:30. This is your opportunity to showcase a recent project, upcoming launch or new technology. We will have a signup sheet at registration, or you can email Bill to reserve a slot. The format will be speed geek-style, meaning the presenters will remain at their respective table, and the "audience" will shift tables every 5 minutes.
