Testimonials

The conference was nice and interactive. Also, I gained a lot of connections, knowledge and some nice people working in the field. Looking forward to attending again next year.

Sesha Sai Baba Neelisetty, Research Assistant
DTU Technical University of Denmark

Very good experience. Strong turnout. High quality of talks and attendees. The RISE tour was good.

Guy Newcombe, CEO
Archipelago Technology

For me the presentations were extremely useful, albeit some were a bit too technical for me, and that is understandable.

However the best part was to visit RISE and see their capabilities, but most importantly the networking amongst people who share the same passion and experience.
