Testimonials from visitors
A unique opportunity to see all
of the suppliers and products
in a single place allowing you
to make direct comparisons of
demonstrations.
It was fantastic to see a wide range of
providers in one place. When researching
products and services, the marketplace can
seem crowded and hard to navigate. The
event enabled me to discover new vendors
and discuss my requirements face to face in
a greater level of detail.
HR IT consultant, St Christophers Hospice
Director, The Skills Trust
A great compact show with a friendly
atmosphere and great selection of exhibitors.
Very worthwhile time spent researching new
systems and technologies to keep abreast
of forthcoming developments alongside our
more immediate software requirements.
Very informative, all big names
were there and the fact we
could see demos of the software
was very useful.

We liked the fact that the visitors to this
