IECA's EC10 - Day 3
02/23/2010
The final day in Dallas, Texas for the International Erosion Control Association (IECA) conference (EC10) was, as one might expect, fairly quiet. But it gave us a bit more time to follow up on conversations from those first couple days of early-morning-through-evening meetings. Also, many of the attendees who spent the previous days in sessions spent a good amount of time finally walking the exhibit hall floor with their conference bags to collect samples and literature.
