Speakers came from Europe, USA and Asia and included viewpoints ranging from process automation to software and system engineering.

The conference is a mixture of organised formal presentations in the morning and informal self-organising open spaces in the afternoon.

Attendees suggested topics via pigeonhole and voted throughout the day on the website which worked well.

Kudos were given across the board in the attendee survey here are some:

The organization and speakers were great. The Open Spaces have been extremely valuable.
It was great to get insight and advice from others with exactly the same problems
Very well organized and great venue.
Friendly, non-obtrusive sponsors allowed to promote their capabilities in a very organised manner.

After the end of the event, we sent around a survey. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

Some things we think went well:

The speakers all did a great job. You can watch a recording of each session by clicking on the title on our program page.
