I thought it was great! I particularly liked how they framed the academic work, calling it "basic research waiting for architectural implications". Sometimes I think students and faculty forget that writing a good script and milling it is dubiously spatial, at best! the LTL stuff was beautiful, as always. How about your thoughts?
Oh sorry Vado Retro...it was called "Manufacturing Material Effects", hosted by ball state and the Indianapolis Museum of Art, two days of about 20 speakers from academia, practice, and the manufacturing industry that do digital fabrication, new materials investigations... basically excatly what the name implies. I'm from Ohio State, but heared about it through a Prof. that was going. So I have no Idea how much it was publicized.
Here's the link for the web site that Ball State had put together. I found out about it from a friend from Louisville. It wasn't really publicized in Indy very well. There were about 12 professionals from Indy there (five from our firm).
The high points for me were the presentations by:
Chris Sharples, David Lewis, Donald Bates and Frank Barkow.
There was a lot of visually engaging work shown but for me, it seemed like a lot of, "See what I can do with my scripts" without much connection to the aims of the project. A lot of it was about the efforts to realize the architect's vision for the implementation of the technology rather the using the technology to directly address the client's imperatives or the environment.
Liberty Bell, I am happy to give a more complete rundown but it might need to involve beverages on a Friday afternoon...

i have an unfinished script about this genius architect who is fighting against the system.
Love to, spark. GOOD FOR YOU taking your whole firm to the symposium! What an awesome place to work.
