There is still lots of excitement at this year’s International Mathematica User Conference. This morning started with a lively talk from Wolfram Research’s Conrad Wolfram and Theodore Gray on the future of publishing. Essentially, they opined that the future will be paper-less and sparked with interactivity. Their goal is to find more ways for Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha to help in that process.

Also today, Wolfram Research developers spoke on the growing capabilities of Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha, and the new Wolfram|Alpha API. In addition, our users covered a great range of topics with presentations from teachers and their students, researchers, and business professionals.

One of the nicest things about the conference is having developers and users in such close proximity. Both groups take advantage of the time between talks and during meals to discuss project needs and problems, and try to work out best solutions. There is also a lot of creative thinking about the future.

We look forward to sharing more about this year’s conference with you.
