“ADS and the Technical Meeting are awesome! I was hooked after attending my first meeting too many years ago. The Technical Meeting promotes two tenets I’ve believed for my entire career, learning and sharing. Networking with so many smart, passionate people is a bonus. While I am honored to receive the Technical Achievement Award, I have gotten far more from ADS & the Technical Meeting than I contributed” stated Eric Esterline, owner of Emulsion Solutions upon receiving this award.
