Everyone just raved about the Red Rock Resort and begged us to go back there again next year. (We are looking at dates. Stay tuned!) They also raved about the conference content, networking opportunities and general good vibes. ATME 2007 was a resounding success and for those who couldn't make it and those who want the information in detail, we have compiled reports, podcasts of all the sessions, powerpoint presentations, and contact information for all the exhibitors.
ATME wishes to express its gratitude to the following companies and individuals that have donated their services and assistance to this organization and to the 2007 conference:
