A really useful show with a great range of exhibitors. The show is fascinating and highly relevant to our work. It’s a great place to meet new suppliers, and the Smart Badge makes it easy to follow up with key contacts afterwards. Highly recommend!

I have found it very useful, good for getting ideas and contacts. I’m a Designer Engineer so it’s really good to see lots of technology and products that I haven’t seen before. It’s good to attend to keep up to date with the latest trends. It’s huge - I would definitely recommend! So much to see and I am looking forward to attending the seminars.
