Once again we took advantage of the excellent facilities of the MIT faculty club (building E52 on the MIT campus), just minutes from the Kendall Square stop on the MBTA Red Line. The conference featured an exciting blend of leading edge overviews and in-depth technical presentations, illustrated with many live demonstrations.

Many of the foils from the presentations are available online. See the information and tips below on the alternative choices for viewing these presentations.
