There were lots of really good talks at SotMUS, but since there were two
tracks, I couldn't attend all of them (dang it!).
Here's some quick links to presentations that I attended and really
liked—several have a local Colorado perspective or are highlighting work
done by current and former co-workers:

Hi all,
For those who were able to come to Boulder, Colorado for the annual State
of the Map US conference this past weekend—thanks and I hope that you
enjoyed the Colorado weather and hospitality!
It was a really nice program <https://2017.stateofthemap.us/program/>
and it was especially cool to see more and more of the projects that the
community has been chatting about and working on in their spare time
finally come to life and are in production!
All the talks on Friday and Saturday were videotaped
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqjPa29lMiE2k2Sp5L5rb6ntduG9dt0te>,
and you can see lots of snapshots
<https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=95444237%40N08&sort=date-posted-desc&safe_search=1&view_all=1&tags=>
of folks at Folsom Field and a few of the evening socials.
Cheers,
Deb
