Summing up the event, association executive vice president, Joel Dandrea, commented, “We were well pleased with the overall results of the Annual Conference; member feedback was very positive and the general mood of members was optimistic. With just over 500 registrants and 55 exhibitors, attendance was strong and participation in committee meetings, educational sessions and the awards programs was also quite encouraging. We are well aware that a strong economy helps drive membership and participation in Association events, but we are also encouraged by member feedback on the continuing improvements and forward strides in the quality of SC&RA meetings, products, services and regulatory initiatives. We are really quite fortunate to work within such a strong association, and we are committed to continuing growth and improvement. We are genuinely grateful for the continuing support from members from 46 nations around the globe that provide our lifeblood.”

The Annual Conference is all about the people, so IC has chosen to illustrate this with a selection of photographs of members taken over the event's five days.
