The lower head count certainly didn’t diminish the experience of those who took part this year, though; spirited discussions filled the air between sessions and during breaks as managers compared equipment and problems. The whole affair had a more intimate feel than the larger gatherings of yore, when a newcomer could feel lost in a sea of faces.
