An extremely well organised and produced conference, from pre registration and lasting throughout the 3 days. Excellent support staff – helpful, knowledgeable and friendly to boot! Excellent choice of topics and speakers, good use of time including offering lunch (great food) and the ability to network. This is the first EA conference I have attended outside the US, based on the useful insights it will certainly not be the last.

Hassan Sheikh, Application Services Manager, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer

I thought the event was excellent. As a business we have just initiated a project to define an EAF. This conference has helped enormously in arming me with the necessary ammunition to sell the benefits of EA to the business. It did well in putting EA in context – however I believe there are outstanding issues with regards to ROI – is the market & senior management ready for initiatives / philosophies that do not have hard benefits? I thought the speakers were excellent – and it was content rich almost to the point of overload!
