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
