Feedback from IDLS2013 For a newcomer to the industry it was very informative, and gave a great good overview of activities, problems and solutions to the actual interoperability issues. The Society s focus on Education and Training is, in my opinion, one of its strongest qualities. It was a great event which has met my expectations. Just a quick e-mail to thank you and the team, for all your support in the build-up to a very successful IDLS. We have managed to secure some very positive leads, so for us our attendance was well worthwhile. Thank you so much for another successful IDLS event. Even with all of the uncertainty with the US Government/IDLS attendance, we were still able to meet with many international customers/industry partners over the course of the week 7
