It's nice to have a conference that has a very specific focus, because we can dive much deeper into that and really get into the meat of the data. You can get into a much deeper understanding of the particular topic as well as some of the advancements in the field.

It's a perfect thing when you can come to a conference, and you can meet people and immediately realize that you have things in common and can help each other; to meet other people who are really in different fields, but experiencing some of the same issues and develop potential collaborations across the board.

An event like this brings talent that you normally are not exposed to, and as you see these presentations, you're shocked as to how much innovation is out there.

I think a lot of us do research in the technology and how we can apply it to our specific research interests or populations, but learning how to cross those boundaries between clinical populations is important.
