Two weeks ago, having barely digested our Thanksgiving meals, Chris Tompkins, Brian Miller, and I attended I/ITSEC 2023 in Orlando. If you are not familiar, I/ITSEC stands for Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference and caters largely to the US Department of Defense, federal contractors,…

It’s that time of year again when most people in the U.S. are out shopping and preparing for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Me? I’m gearing up to help our team leave for I/ITSEC 2023 next week. This is the second time Rustici Software has had…

I/ITSEC is right around the corner! Billed as the world’s largest modeling, simulation and training event, we always enjoy attending this massive event filled with everything from fog machines to full aviation simulations. There’s always something new to see, and we’re happy to provide guidance…
