With the exception of the big snowstorm in the mid-Atlantic causing a few scheduling issues, SPAR 2010 is getting off to a great start. The mobile scanning rigs started showing up early, and the exhibitor area was looking very impressive, particularly the Faro booth.
The Boot Camps were the main attraction today. A lot of volunteer work went into making this happen. Many thanks to all involved, particularly Tad Fry for all of the time invested. There were 3 tracks – mobile, plant and civil infrastructure for those new to laser scanning to participate in.
I thought the presentations were much cleaner and at the correct level this year. Overall there seems to be a high level of interest and buzz on the trade show floor and in the conversations. People that I spoke with were upbeat and in general are cautiously optimistic about this year.
And just in case you don’t think that amazing things can happen – the Saints won the Super Bowl.
