The event exceeded all expectations with a max capacity exhibit area and registration numbers of almost 400 attendees. Feedback on the event has been overwhelmingly positive. Both speakers and attendees have expressed desire for ICRSS to become a reoccurring and must-attend event. From its strong agenda of speakers and topics to the ample amount of innovative technologies and organizations, attendees found ICRSS to be well worth its admission.

Welcome once again to the Friday’s Food for Thought post on got geoint? Remember life before television remote controls? It seems like ages ago, but there was a time when you had to get up from off the couch and change the channel manually.
