at this event.)

This Year’s Event Highlights:

Based on attendee input at past events, we modified our structure a bit this year.  The first two days were dedicated to presentations given by over 50 ADCP/ DVL users.  As usual, these presentations were split into the following concurrent tracks:

1. Water Resources – flow and discharge measurement in rivers and streams
   
   
2. Marine Measurements – current profiling and waves measurement in the ocean environment
   
   
3. Navigation – underwater Doppler navigation and diver  applications

This allowed us to dedicate day three to Teledyne RDI and co-sponsor product and software training seminars.

These core events were supplemented by:
 

• A full-day DVL Integration Workshop
  
  
• New product introductions
  
  
• 12 poster papers
  
  
• One-on-one meetings with our field service team.
  
  
• One-on-one meetings with our sales, marketing, and/or management staff.  
  
  
• A tour of our new Poway facility.
  
  
• A fabulous Casino night
  
  
• A co-sponsor exhibit area and cocktail hour to showcase the great complimentary technology available to our customers.

Our thoughts on this year’s event:

Harry Maxfield, Teledyne RDI’s V.P. Sales/Marketing reports “The record attendance and participation in this year’s users conference is a real tribute to the value of this venue, and the sheer number of people using Teledyne RDI’s products in the field.  We’re extremely pleased to be able to provide our customer with this opportunity to share their ideas and field experience in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  Our customers tell us they learn a great deal from this event, and the same can be said for us.  It’s fantastic to have this many of our customers in one place.  We love spending time with them, and this is great way to keep informed of their current and future product and software needs. “

Our attendees thoughts on this event:

Although we’re always looking to improve, after reviewing this year’s attendee surveys, we’re quite confident that we’ve hit on a great formula for a users’ conference – one that provides value to each and every attendee.

Here are just a few comments submitted via our online event survey:

“The location was excellent.  Speakers were very good.  Teledyne RDI staff was very helpful and friendly.”

“Broad range of attendees from a variety of industries that use TRDI products.”
