Great speakers, very well organized and good networking.
Very informative and I really liked the back-and-forth dialogue.
The quality of the attendees and functions were top notch.
It was nice that each company was only represented by a few people, so that with every new interaction you were able to learn about a new organization.
Excellent organization, and everybody could participate totally, it had a good communication atmosphere.
High quality speakers and the right balance of content and networking.
Appreciated that there was effort to get people into the exhibit hall.
