In addition to VISualize coming up soon in June, Exelis VIS is holding a fall User Group meeting as well:
The IDL User Group Meeting 2012 will be held September 19-20 at the beautiful LASP facility on CU-Boulder’s East Campus. Please join us for presentations by members of the IDL community and by the IDL development team at Exelis VIS. We’ll also have a competition for the best IDL visualization. Pre-registration will be required since seating is limited.
The preliminary schedule is:
Day 1 (Wed Sep 19):
- Short workshops on selected topics in IDL (bring a laptop, if you wish)
- Presentations by the IDL development team
- User discussion groups
Day 2 (Thu Sep 20):
- User presentations
- Visualization contest
I will definitely be there (especially since it’s less than two miles from here)!

I wonder if there will be new release of IDL coming soon. I still remember in 2010 meeting it was speculated that we would have IDL 9 in 2012.

I don’t know about IDL 9, but comments on the newsgroup from Exelis VIS employees suggest an IDL 8.2.1 release in the coming weeks and an IDL 8.2.2 release in the January/February timeframe.
