Comments from participants

The IndustryForum offered an excellent opportunity for networking and also for patching the networks. Meeting old and new colleagues is always a great way to get new ideas for one's own work. Naturally also the good quality and topical content have a strong weight in the scale. I will warmly recommend this annual meeting of the industry's decision makers.
