TECHCON 2013 is over
Conference participants: It was great to see you in Austin! As they say, you really had to be there to appreciate (once again) the synergy of SRC's coming together in one place: academia, industry, and government, all connecting in real time. Still, for our members who couldn't make it this year, and for attendees who couldn't absorb it all in two days (who could?), we have the TECHCON proceedings up, best of session papers listed, and ...
