This Year's "ET
Update Day" Was Our Best Ever...
By all accounts, this
year's ET Update Day featured some of the best presentations in recent
memory, and our industry partners indicated that they liked the
combination of an "overview" of a specific technology, followed by a
"spotlight" technology on a specific company. Of course, we
included our typical "eclectic" mix of topics. In addition to our
focus presentations on Personalized Medicine and Nanotechnology, the day
included a lunch panel on the Future of Medical Technology, and
presentations on solid state lighting (which may replace incandescent
lighting in the next decade) and cost-effective approaches to space
travel being pioneered by SpaceDev.
