Glad to hear that it went well, though. That sounds like a lot of fun, actually, although I don’t envy you the pressure of having that many people count on your technology.

An annual international event that we got to host partly because one of our resident geologists complained about the technology at a prior conference. We were put on the spot, and we delivered with flying colors, BTW. I watched several sessions and learned new and interesting things about the earth ... at least when I was able to understand the lingo.

If discerning taste in blogs is any indication... :-) Why, pray tell, are you being overrun by hordes of geologists? I find them quite fascinating in small numbers, but hordes of academics of any description are often a worry.
