The six annual Skyline User Group Meeting took us to Indianapolis, ID and our meeting location was on the 48th floor of the Salesforce.com Building. With perfectly clear weather and 20-miles of visibility, the 360-degree view was simply breathtaking. The meeting was held Sunday, June 4, before the 2017 ASMS conference and 150 attendees heard about the latest targeted proteomics and "omics" research approaches -- using Skyline and Panorama. After a brief introduction by host Dr. Mike MacCoss, the event featured 11 speakers on a wide spectrum of ways that researchers were using Skyline to tackle innovative mass spectrometry projects. Just like last year, the User Group Meeting also solicited presentation topics from the user base -- and the speakers were selected from culling through submitted abstracts. The meeting featured full length (20 min.) presentations, as well as rapid-fire "lightning talks" -- in which speakers had the unenviable task of culling down their current key research into a 5 minute speaking window. Check out the recordings of the sessions below. We've also posted the presentation slides in the links below for your continued reference.
Lastly, we'd like to give a heart-felt "thank you" to all of our speakers who prepared and gave up their pre-ASMS Sunday make the Skyline User Group Meeting an event not to be missed. And to those who attended this year, we hope to see you all at a future Skyline User Group Meeting!
