So I went. Overall, it was pleasant to mess with those high end gear that I've always seen in magazines. However, it was more catered towards people interested in actually buying those high-end stuffs. I met with the company of the hydrophone that I used last summer to record sea urchins, and they were really cool. A lot of the spokespeople wern't too great; they just brushed you off if you didn't look like CEO status. However, there were plenty of informative engineers and musicians there as well.
It was basically like a career fair haha.
