“DVCon U.S. 2016 attendees can expect to learn about both practical solutions to pressing problems directly affecting their jobs, and also receive a preview of the technologies that will affect them in the near future,” stated Yatin Trivedi, DVCon U.S. 2016 general chair. “Such insights will be found not only in the technical papers, tutorials, posters and panels that make up the formal body of the conference, but also by taking part in informal discussions with their peers, many experts and exhibitors in attendance as well.”

Networking is a hallmark of DVCon and this year will be no exception. The Booth Crawl on Monday evening and the Exhibits Reception on both Tuesday and Wednesday evening provide excellent opportunities for informal discussions.
