My opinions of how the IUA conference went are highly biased but I thought
it was excellent.  The speakers are the backbone of these things and all the
speakers I saw were extremely good.   Doug Inkster did his usual trick of
delivering a torrent of information in his soothing and languid way; Rick
van der Lans was a polished and interesting presenter from outside our usual
pool of talent, and Emma McGratten made a brave attempt to do a live demo of
the results of the development sprint and angered the demo gods.

There was way too much to go over here; maybe others can talk about their
particular favorite sessions.  All I can say is try to get to the next one.
The date is in my sig.

Currently the presentation slides are available only to those who registered
to attend.  In a month or so we will probably make them generally available.

It may take a little while to remove the registration invitation because the
IUA is a volunteer organization.
