  • Highlights from M.E.E.S. 2015

    It’s been about twenty-four hours since M.E.E.S. 2015 wrapped up and I thought I would share some photos of the conference. I don’t really want to get into specifics. If you read the live-blog post,  you’ll have an idea of what the speakers were presenting on. If you missed out, there is always next year. I’d like to thank all the organizers and volunteers for the work they put into M.E.E.S. this year.
