Best value for money conference I have ever attended; an excellent mix of relevant subjects covered and at the right technical level.
All the right people for successful networking, interesting session topics and a good range of technology on display at the exhibition.
Found it good experience to attend the conference, exchanging knowledge, making contacts and seeing what major companies in the area are currently working on.
