Los Angeles Meeting Highlights (October 16-21, 2005)

Abstract

Los Angeles offered meeting attendees a close look at some of the extremes in our world today, from the very unreal world of moviemaking to the harsh realities of sustainable energy. During the week, meeting goers could nightly watch the street outside the hotel turn into a scene from downtown Shanghai, complete with street signs and commercial trucks all lettered in Chinese. One could also watch the surreal production of a high-speed chase scene being acted out in slow-motion.
