The conference was described as a 'Teaming Workshop'. Essentially, the morning sessions on each of the three days were given over to military personnel from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, who gave presentations about what they were after, what their requirements were, and the afternoon sessions were given over to a series of 15min presentations by engineers and bio-mechanics from all over the US, describing the current state of their research. There was one buyer - Dr. Ephrahim Garcia, of DARPA, with $50m of DoD money in his pocket. The morning sessions were of great interest to me. The afternoon sessions, essentially, were not.
