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