Quality and quantity

Factoring in the valuable suggestions of previous participants, our committee work extensively throughout the year to compile a compelling and challenging conference programme. This, alongside a varied exhibition of relevant solution providers, is the basis upon which we continue to attract a high-quality audience of influential decision makers.

While we were pleased to reach record visitor satisfaction at our last event, we will continue to invest additional resources to deliver high quality, relevant content and new features to continue the event's evolution.
