And those who supported the event by attending. I’d especially like to thank Tobias for working out so many logistics regarding the exhibitions, JoAnn (and group) for wowing everyone with the Allosphere, and Tim for making everything run so smoothly. Arial  ArialI think the workshop was an unqualified success, beyond what we had originally anticipated. I hope people made new connections that will bear fruit in the future and also learned a thing or two. Our star-studded cast of invited speakers was impressed with all aspects of the event, and the ASU folks in particular seem really excited about continuing this relationship. Arial  ArialIt was a great group effort, and it was wonderful PR for us. Kudos!
