On August 9th an interesting thing happened during the Float Conference. Rich Martin from NSF International took the stage to give a talk about NSF certifications for float tanks. What could have been an industry uniting moment  instead became a public discourse over stifled creativity, sneaky practices, and roadblocks to certification.

So what led to this uproar? Were the accusations made during the conference accurate? What was Mr. Martin really trying to say and what facts do we need to consider before we weigh in on this important topic?
