I was finally able to browse through the program for the 2011 CAA conference. One of the things that I like so much about the CAA is that there are so many new people attending each year that it feels like a whole new organization. So while some of these names and titles might seem familiar (I have seen a couple of papers by John David Schloen of OCHRE before and they are always worth hearing), many of them are so totally new to me that I don’t really know what to expect. That leads to some really interesting papers and as I leave the conference my head is full of ways to implement some of their ideas into our workflow.The paper titles that I pulled out here are mostly concerned with data creation and data management and analysis. There are several sessions on 3d modeling and geophysics. But if those are scheduled at the same time as a data management session, I will be at the latter.

The frustrating thing about the CAA is that there seems to be very little social media going on. The SAA last month had a good running hashtag on twitter: #SAA2011. I know that the CAA shares its acronym with the College Art Association and that #CAA2011 was used for their conference but that was in February and we should be able to come up with something to follow our CAA this year.
