Special Industry Demonstrations

In addition to the great set of peer-reviewed demonstrations that we will have in DySPAN 2012, we are also happy to announce some exciting industry demonstrations! For the first time in DySPAN history, we constructed a special industry-only invitation to bring in demonstrations of new and cutting edge products that push the envelope of current DSA capabilities. We received an overwhelmingly positive response, and are proud to announce industry demonstrations from:
