Incredible to belief that another year has passed by.\u00a0 Everything is moving so quickly, at least for us who are living in peace.\u00a0 Other people are facing other times.\u00a0 “The world is turning, I hope it will not turn away” (Uncle Neil in On The Beach).<\/p>\n
In the beginning of 2024 I said goodbye to the Delft University of Technology.\u00a0 After 21 years of part-time working at TUD, my academic career came to an end.\u00a0 We celebrated that with a 1-day technical symposium.\u00a0 I absolutely enjoyed this farewell “party” very, very much.\u00a0 I could never ever dreamed of a better way to say goodbye to TUD.\u00a0 Many thanks again to the speakers, to the people who attended and to the TUD who supported me in the organization.<\/p>\n
Another milestone in 2024 was the organization of the Harvest Imaging Forum around the topic “AI and VISION”.\u00a0 After a couple of times running the forum in a hybrid mode, I decided to run it only as an in-person event.\u00a0 The extra cost of hiring the A\/V guys to broadcast the forum is really too high to make a break-even based on only the on-line registrations.\u00a0 Moreover, it turned out that a few people did not play the game as I expected they were going to do.\u00a0 In 2023 at least 2 persons (from different organizations) registered as single persons for the on-line event but had 20 people (or more) sitting in front of a huge screen to listen and watch the presentations.\u00a0 So I had to decide to abstain from live broadcasting or on-demand options of the forum.\u00a0 But that’s how it works : you have to learn from experience, also negative ones.\u00a0 For the coming year, the 11th forum will be organized.\u00a0 A few days ago I came to an agreement with the speaker as well as with the hotel.\u00a0 More info will follow some around coming Summer time.<\/p>\n
What about 2025 ?\u00a0 Harvest Imaging will still continue with trainings.\u00a0 In 2025 several trainings are scheduled again, although only a very few “open” courses.\u00a0 As was the case in 2024, also in 2025 many in-house trainings are planned.\u00a0 (Don’t take in-house too literally, several of them have mixed groups from around the world, and in that case the courses run on-line).\u00a0 In the mean time, it became already a tradition : the Masterclass I run for Smithers (UK).\u00a0 In 2025 for the 5th year in a row I will present “The Latest Developments in the CIS World” during an on-line Masterclass (3 hours), scheduled in the beginning of March.\u00a0 This Masterclass\u00a0is always quite a bit of preparation work : I do need about 90 … 100 sheets of brand new material, otherwise it does not comply with the title of Masterclass.\u00a0 “Recent Developments” covers the news of the last 12 months.\u00a0 Although it is a lot of work, it is fun to do.\u00a0 Keep in mind : “Teaching is learning twice !”<\/p>\n
Finally,\u00a0it is a pleasure for me to wish all my customers and readers a great Christmas and End Of The Year Season.\u00a0 Hopefully we see each other again in 2025, alive and kicking !<\/p>\n
