“It was an excellent event and it was great to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones! I enjoyed all the sessions I saw: the panellists were excellent and all experts in their fields.”
Toby Bryans, Principal Consultant, Finance Practice, Dataart

“This is my second year attending A-Team events. A-Team Group pull together a good group of relevant panellists and speakers – backed up by a good show in the exhibitor section. These are the people who you want to meet and listen to. I find myself able to agree with some information – but always with a learning aspect attached to that and the rest. I look forward to the event next year.”
Julian Maule, Delivery Manager eTrading Systems, Rabobank
