Word on the Street: Engineers' Thoughts on Wrapping up NIWeek 2011

[Mackie]

Wow. Talk about an audience of 3,300 getting blown away. After a heart-pounding keynote presentation by extreme storms researcher Tim Samaras, the NIWeek Community team caught up with Peter Olivias from Los Alamos National Lab and Doug Ary from Lockheed Martin on the expo floor. Standing in front of Samaras' storm-chasing truck, Peter spoke about how lucky his TWISTEX team is to get paid to do something as adrenaline-pumping as chasing tornados. Attending his fifth NIWeek, Douglas expressed his excitement about recently switching to NI LabVIEW software. He says the change has made his work "easier and faster" and that LabVIEW is simply "the way to go."

The NIWeek Community hopes that all attendees enjoyed their NIWeek 2011 experience as much as Peter and Douglas did. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!

Hi Doug. Sorry about the typo! I just fixed it. Thanks for chatting with us during NIWeek! We think your interview with the NIWeek bloggers was a great addition to the community blog. We included the video in the post, but here is the YouTube link in case you need it: http://youtu.be/6B6-i5VKGuM

Thanks, again!
