from the conference exposition hall
There are always interesting things at the exposition halls that accompany most conferences that I have been to. IEEE and ASME meetings have vendors with really cool measurement systems, books you can’t find anywhere else, and other fun and exciting things for those with skewed interests such as me.
Working for a medical device company, I have attended shows that are meant for physicians, places like SAGES, or ACS. Those expos are full of other strange and interesting things. It took a little while to get used to the videos of surgery or some of the more heinous devices people were showing, but all in all it was cool stuff.
It was all good until I walked though the exposition hall of the annual meeting of the AAGL. (Go ahead and click the link to see who they are… I’ll wait.)
There are things I never needed to know existed. Most of them are in that room.
I’m just sayin’.
