The following post is a list of the papers I attended at the World Congress. This post may be of limited interest to many readers but at least gives an insight into the papers that this humble blogger is interested in. A lot of trade, some catastrophes and a little valuation made up stuff.
I would hazard that this represents a way above average conference attendance record in case the powers that be are reading.
The overall quality of the papers was good to middling with the occassional paper of great quality and some papers that still required a little more polishing.
A book of abstracts can be found HERE.
