ASCRS has come and gone and once again we were there to absorb the latest topics, showcase our own particular knowledge and meet old friends and make new ones. We had a great time. In our pre-ASCRS podcast the team made some predictions on what the big topics would be, and for the most part, we were fairly accurate. There were, however, one or two items that were discussed that took us a bit by surprise. Listen along as Darryl Quinlan, Spenser Pontbriand and Hannah Whitten give their thoughts on the show and our very successful co-sponsored event with Google.
