Close up of a poster. We had poster sessions every day.

There were no sessions on Wednesday, Oct. 11. Attendees were encouraged to explore the area. A3 had meetings and there was a movie night. Matt attended CPR in Brownsville.

The Thursday AM sessions (Day 3 – Wednesday does not factor in the day count) were delayed due to a power outage. Some sessions were presented outside with portable power and AV. We were back in the main hall after lunch.

Hanging out with the OnX BC, and CalTopo guys. No lanyard? CalTopo did not have a booth. What were they thinking?
