Visitor's Reviews
I met wonderful people at the event, the quality of participants was great, all meetings were productive in a friendly environment. I just hope to see bigger number of participants in a larger space for next time event I look forward to that
apparent communication issues between UK organizers & UBT. First day was not organized although individuals tried to help. many last minute arrangements. We had a booth but many booths were vacant. There are multiple areas of improvement.
It was well organized and informative. Only the location was issue. It was far from the city.
It was OK but could have had more participation and a number of booths where empty
