It has been an exciting event. It’s an interesting piece bring together different kinds of companies – big pharma, start-up companies and even, now, technology companies, like Antelliq, that are representing big data and the high-tech touch, so it’s an excellent convergence form all these types of companies.
The best thing about the event is the opportunity to network with people that, if we were to have to go visit as a company, we’d have to travel the world to meet – but they’re all congregated here so we have a good op to visit with them and exchange ideas and to collaborate with them.
The event has been great, we’ve had the opportunity to meet a few people that we wouldn't ususally meet, and also to meet again with colleagues and clients we’ve been working with before, so it’s a great opportunity to be exposed as an organisation, but also to network and collaborate with different industries and different clients from within the industry. I think it’s been fantastic!
Companies that haven’t come to the event yet need to realise that it’s an investment and it will really broaden their horizons. This is a group of people that have been in the industry along time, and also a group of new people that are just starting out, and if they’re not here for that conversation they’re really missing that the breadth that I just don’t think they can get anywhere else. This is a really unique opportunity for them!
