It was quite a week in beautiful Montreal, but MS&T’13 is in the books. By all accounts the conference was a hit, with solid attendance, highly informative technical tracks, many ACerS and student events, and a successful expo that left exhibitors happy with the quantity and quality of visitors to their booths.
Our visit to the US’s neighbor up north was pleasant, but MS&T’14 will be back in a familiar venue next year. It’s scheduled for Oct. 12th–16th in Pittsburgh, Pa.
In the meantime, please enjoy a few more photos from this year’s event.
