The IT session wasa lively activity to demonstrate the benefits of lean manufacturing processes using nuts, bolts,and washers. The Careers session was similar to the one from 2010, and the Campus Lifesession was described above.We notified the local media the day before the conference, but only one affiliate came for the2011 conference.
