If you did not attend this year's IR/INFO, you missed a good one. Everything ran as smooth as silk, the venue was great and the attendees enjoyed the tradeshow, technical presentations and short courses.

To the staff at Infraspection Institute...You all did a marvelous job and I just wanted to say thank you!

I wanted to thank you again for your support at the conference a few weeks ago. It was great to meet you.

I was most impressed by your professional, friendly and supportive staff. The mix of a close knit, long term professionals with the flavor of a family was most refreshing. I took a long time (three years) to enter the business and carefully choose who to take my training with out of concern with going with the very best in the industry. Within the first few hours of conference I knew I made the right decision. From the founder to the clerical staff at the conference, friendly, thoughtful, prepared, high quality people.

Additionally the high quality of conference attendees was amazing. Infraspection has most definitely set the bar high and I know what a commitment to quality it takes to get there. Congratulations to you all on the organization you have built!

Please express my deepest appreciation to all of Infraspection staff and to Chris and Jim. I look forward to a long association with everyone at the Infraspection Institute and completing my Level Two Certification thru the Infraspection Institute.

What an incredible engaging, informative program your team put together. Great topics with well-prepared speakers giving up their deepest secrets for all to benefit from. Well worth my time and money to temporarily step away from my business to take it all in. Very organized and very friendly learning environment with a staff so friendly and eager to ensure all the attendees were accommodated. Can't wait to gain more knowledge and experience so one day I can give back to the infrared community as well.

I have been a student since 2011 and attended IR/INFO twice. I love coming to the Conference to learn from others and to better my craft.

Attending each year expands my knowledge and capabilities. It refreshes me and keeps me motivated to continue improving.

I just got back from the IR/INFO Conference in Orlando. What a great time! Although the temperature could have been a little warmer, we could not have gotten a warmer reception from the Infraspection staff. Jim Seffrin, his brother Chris, and the entire Infraspection staff did an awesome job and worked tirelessly to treat everyone like a part of their family. The surprises were endless. Thank you Infraspection. See you next year.

PS~ I'm adding IR to my HI business. I thought going to the IR /INFO Conference should be the first step for me. I was right.

Thank You Very Much to you and your staff for another excellent IRINFO!

After completing all IR/INFO Conferences that I have attended - I am always able to enhance my present IR program with new information learned from the various speakers and from the short courses which were presented. It's also a great opportunity to share IR data which was collected during the year with other thermographers for their opinion. The combination of IRINFO and spending a few days with fellow thermographers from around the world helps keep us all sharp and on top of our game within our industry.

As a professional from a different but related industry, the exposure and experience I possessed coming into this conference was limited. In 3 days, this conference exposed me to a world and wealth of information about thermographic applications and techniques I can now apply to my current business model. More importantly, it gave me the information to improve my current infrared program and potentially expand to offer more services. Lastly, the contacts made at IR/INFO and the open sharing of information cannot be quantified.

Thanks for this forum and I look forward to next year.

As always, presentations were informative.

Jim, Chris, Beth and Mary all worked and succeeded in making it feel like one extended family. I think we have outgrown this hotel. Food was great.

Thanks all, another great year.

IR/INFO conference is an effective place to refresh and improve your knowledge of thermal imaging. IR/INFO provides insights into the new techniques and technologies available to the thermographer.

A must for any thermographer who wants to maintain an effective thermal imaging program or service.

I would say that if you’re not sure what Thermography is or what it’s about, this is the best source of information and opportunity to meet people in the field of Thermography and the brotherhood of thermographers.

A great function to start the year off for new ideas, opportunities and friendships for everyone involved.

I look forward to next year.

As a new thermographer I was exposed to several utilizations of this technology that were new to me. The education was very diverse and non-selfish. The accommodations were great and the attendees very welcoming.

A very informative conference, covering a wide range of thermographic applications presented in a professional, well organized format. I have attended other conferences and plan on being a regular attendee.

A diverse group of professionals with a diverse range of expertise. Information that is delivered is done with an underlying theme of sincerity, passion and orientated presentations/presenters are well choreographed and organized.

This was my first IR/INFO conference and it confirmed my decision to choose the Institute and this conference over all others.

Wonderful experience!

Always something new even for the experienced!

Great Job!

I never would have believed that the amount of information shared by all speakers at IR/INFO 2004 would be so varied and with such content. This is my first IR/INFO but it certainly won’t be the last.

If you are a thermographic professional, would like to be, or simply a layperson seeking to better understand the industry, its technology, and/or the latest in cutting edge infrared and other PDM technology applications, IR/INFO is an invaluable learning and networking opportunity!

Thank you!

In a relatively short period of time, you get exposed to Thermography products, expanded uses for infrared imaging and the opportunity to meet with others who share similar interests. I think I learned foremost that Thermography is an art and a science, but even more importantly it is a community where individuals freely share experiences.

One suggestion: Would be good idea to have list of attendees/ with their companies and e-mail addresses.

Keyword is “open mindedness”. The underlying theme of the entire session is professionalism at its best. Attention to detail without losing sight of the forest!

Thanks

Continuing education and keeping up with new technology.

Tremendous talent pool in the attendees, presenters and hosts. Learned much after hours as well as in-sessions.

As a newcomer to the IR community IR/INFO has allowed a giant step from limited knowledge of the industry and the industry leaders to a feeling of being a member of the IR professional community.

Thanks for the great opportunity and looking forward to IR/INFO 2005.

An extremely enlightening experience.

I came to IR/INFO for the 5 short courses. These struck my interest and fit into the expectations of my IR program. I expected to be bombarded with semi-sales information with all the other sub-presentations. This, I have experienced in many expos/infos/programs.

What I found was 25 of the most informative and question raising topics presented in a manner not for self gain, but for group gain.

IR/INFO makes you feel like a fraternity brother rather than a gain seeking professional, though both are accomplished.

No matter how much you already know about thermography, not how much experience you have, you will learn something new at this conference that will help you become a better thermographer.

The experience was very informational. The range of topics discussed and the knowledge of the presenters and the Infraspection Institute staff was significant.

The whole atmosphere of the conference was friendly and exceedingly professional.

The willingness of experts in their fields to share.

Refresher courses were good. After a while in this industry knowledge becomes wisdom. It is always good to re-address the foundation of the knowledge.

Small venue brings about a family atmosphere. Good to catch up with old friends.
