It was my first ARDD event and I've immediately become a fan of this yearly series! It was very unlike a typical conference, Instead, it was like a scientific and business club of the highest caliber. People shared cutting edge research, ideas, networked and conducted business, but also had a lot of fun in such a natural way and so relevantly, it felt like the whole event was designed to be a thematic party.
But the true value was the level of insight. The organizers managed to strike a rare balance between strategic or even educational presentations, and deeply technical ones, sharing cutting edge advances in science and tech. You can judge the quality of the event when you attend the last lecture of the day at 20.30 and the hall is literally packed...Not a typical thing at a conference"
