OFC Day 3: Ready for Business
The OFC/NFOEC 2009 exposition came to a close yesterday. Although overall attendance was down – organizers announced a preliminary registration total of 9500 (the official final attendance tally for 2008 was 12,000) – most of those who were
here this week “were here for a reason,” as one exhibitor noted.

In many cases, it seems, companies sent only those focused on next-generation products – rather than putting everyone on the payroll on a plane to San Diego, as they might have in years past.
Stay tuned for a complete wrap-up of OFC/NFOEC 2009.
