The 2009 AIRROC/Cavell Commutations and Networking Event in New Jersey USA, began yesterday, October 19, 2009, with Mark Everiss and Nick Pearson of Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge amongst the record number of attendees at this event. The first day was dedicated to educational sessions, including an interesting panel discussion (with Nick on the panel) on “Crystallization and Estimation”. Mark and Nick are attending the event right through to its conclusion on Wednesday afternoon. They would be delighted to catch up with blog-readers at the event, either formally or informally. They can be contacted on [email protected] or [email protected].
