I think others will agree, the majority of attendees are there for
ROV related sessions. I have only ever attended the manned
vehicle sessions and never experienced an issue of not having a
seat. The convention center and session rooms are not
small...we're not talking PSUBS size event here. The technical
session rooms have seats for...I'm guessing...200 people? And
there is plenty of "standing room" if all the seats were taken. <br>
<br>
ABS reps usually attend because they have discussions about
proposed rule changes...can't recall the gentleman's name at the
moment. I don't think I've seen a sub manufacturer other than
Will Kohnen (seamagine) whom is the coordinator of the manned
vehicle sessions at the convention.<br>
<br>
You'll have a good time there. It's worth the trip and no doubt
there should be some psubbers in attendance as well.<br>
