Here’s what some of our exhibitors from last year’s Tech Summit said:

• Analog Devices – “Thanks again for organising such a great event, sifting through our leads this morning and I’m still surprised how much activity there is locally which we hadn’t been aware of until yesterday.”
• Mothive – “Thank you so much for having us yesterday – the tech summit was fantastic! We connected with a lot of people and hopefully that will result in new partnerships and business. We’ve just tweeted the article and we really appreciate the exposure!”
• Neatebox – “It’s always hard to know what opportunities events such as this will throw up but having had so much positive interest in our work throughout the day I feel it was certainly time well spent.”

Who should attend

The Summit is free to attend and will be of interest to:

• Companies and organisations of any size involved in sensor and imaging systems, covering all elements of the sensor systems stack.
• Companies or organisations that may need to use, or are interested in accessing, sensor and imaging systems technologies to improve or grow their business.
