BIA Cconference Recap — Class is in Session

"I truly value these technical- and issues-specific, peer-to-peer discussions," notes Eckhart. "I have never left a BIA conference without several ideas on my notepad that are slated for immediate implementation when I get back to the office."

When attendees weren't busy picking the brains of those around them, they were soaking up information from vendors during the tabletop display showcase. There were a few dozen suppliers on hand to educate attendees on their latest equipment, and to make connections with potential customers.
