Collaboration and Interoperability Conference 2009 (CIC09) – a trip report
Written by John Horst, NIST   

Horst was a session organizer (“CAD Manufacturing Interoperability”) and a panel discussion moderator (“I Want My PMI! But How Do I Use It and Benefit From It?”) at CIC09.  He also served throughout 2008 on the conference advisory board.  Even though CIC09 was held during challenging economic times, severely restricting travel, among other things, the conference attendance numbers were close to those in years past, and it appeared that the appropriateness and experience of attendees and speakers were as good as or better than before.  This is surely in part due to the aptness of David Prawel, Longview Associates, as conference organizer.
