Well, anyway, I didn't talk to anyone besides one chinese dude and we talked about camping. I really hated that conference lol. I enjoyed Denver, though.
You're right, I just for some reason didn't get put in that section. I was in the Underwater Acoustics and Acoustical Oceanography section. I don't remember if it was 2pUW or 3pUW, though.
I would joke in my IEEE and JASA presentations about "sorry about all the equations" and I would have only a cartesian to polar transform equation on my entire slide deck.
I like the IEEE format, I don't like being obtuse for the sake of it, adding excessive equations just to complicate things and the notion that if you're under the page limit, you clearly didn't write enough, so you better fill it up.
I don't know what to do in the southern island since I didn't look anything up at all from there, expect I am told the Milford pass or hike or trek idk is like suuuuper pretty, but you need to book out way far in advance
