On June 9th, 2013, the second Skyline User Group Meeting was held in the Minneapolis Public Library, preceding the ASMS conference in Minneapolis, MN.  the buffet line was long, but the wide open space with views from the second floor across the atrium and up to the high glass ceilings kept everything in scale. A few unregistered people showed up and a few who registered chose not to brave the rain and 1 mile distance from the convention center.  At final count, a crowd of 220 people nearly filled this year's auditorium with over twice last years capacity (112 seats) at 235 seats.  Host Michael MacCoss introduced the 10 speakers in succession with questions interspersed and a half-hour break after the fifth speaker.  The responses from Skyline users (and some interested spectators) in attendance were 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.
