2014 User Group Meeting at ASMS

On June 15th, 2014, the third Skyline User Group Meeting was held in Baltimore at the Westminster Hall, preceding the ASMS conference.  It was a bit of a trek from the conference center, but the space achieved a new level in escape from corporate conference surroundings; a former chapel with 3 levels of seating (including a balcony), tall windows (reminding us of the sun outside), an organ behind the projection screen and outside a graveyard in which Edgar Alan Poe was buried.  At final count, a crowd of 230 people came together to share and discuss exciting uses of the Skyline software platform.  Host Michael MacCoss introduced the 10 speakers in succession with questions interspersed and a half-hour break after the fifth speaker.  As at the past two meetings, responses were very positive. You are invited to review the presented material or watch the recorded presentation videos now linked at the bottom of the presenter abstract pages.
