Head of Innovation
It’s a must-attend event in my busy calendar. I never turn down the opportunity to hear from other global innovators, to see emerging new technologies, to catch up with well-known friends and colleagues – and to meet new people that my company need to know about to see how we can help each other.

It was my first time attending and I found it excellent. Managed to get a dozen one to one meetings booked in one day through the app, meeting the people I was looking to meet which made such a big difference.

The summit offered many of the benefits of a much larger conference by the quality & relevance of presentation topics covered. But the 1-1 networking experience from a smaller, more engaging environment was a significant plus.
