Roller skates required for 2009

Earlier in the day, I caught up with Anita B. Miller, manager of marketing and member services at the MRS (and more importantly for me, the distributor of badges to members of the press) and it sounds like the organizers are expecting well over 5000 attendees this year’s event.

There’s certainly plenty to see once you get here with 45 technical symposia, a staggering 4,700 oral and poster presentations and a show floor packed with 225 international exhibitors. But, if that sounds like a lot then wait until next year. “In 2009, we’re planning to hold 50 technical symposia,” Miller told me. “You’re going to need roller skates to see it all.”
