What’s News in Hardware and Software at the 2008 DSS

Brief presentations from hardware and software vendors on what is new this year in their product lines that impact thermal imaging applications and practices. This Special Session was started three years ago and has been a very popular, well-attended success.

Its intent is to bring together Vendors and Early Arrival Thermosense and DSS exhibitors to highlight the newest products and services being shown at the Exhibition. In this way the busy technical conference attendees can better prioritize their activities when visiting the exhibits.

It is also a relaxed opportunity for getting to know one another better and to have informal discussions on matters of mutual interest.

A limited time for 10 to 15 minute vendor presentations starts the session, followed by a reception with snacks and soft drinks. The list of vendors presenting will be in the final program and also available onsite.

Companies must be an exhibitor at DSS08 to be part of this event. If you are interested in participating, or have
