Testimonials
Dow Chemical
"
I was impressed with the high quality of both the speakers and the audience. The event was well organised and the meeting broadly covered new product development. It was an excellent opportunity to talk with people from a number of companies and to understand where they saw the future. There was minimal redundancy in the content of the presentations and there was sufficient time during the breaks for good discussions.
