Volcano-realted flight cancellations in Europe had some impact on the show, reportedly preventing a few vendors from staffing their booths. Some Duplo technicians couldn't make it to the show, so the new Alpha Saddle booklet making system could be viewed but not demonstrated.
The Icelandic ash cloud brought at least one unexpected in-plant attendee to the show: Andrew Scott, of Glasgow Caledonian University (we profiled him last month in IPG) found himself stuck in the U.S. for an extra week after attending the ACUP conference. So he made the most of his extended visit by coming to On Demand. ("I never expected to be back in Philadelphia," he told IPG.)
