Hi Steve -- I thought it was good. It was a two-day workshop focusing on trading systems design, testing, and validation, followed by a day-and-a-half conference that combined topics from both FastTrack and AmiBroker, along with a lot on exchange traded funds. The side discussions over breaks and meals were also excellent -- there were a lot of very experienced practitioners who were very willing to share their experiences and ideas.
