The networking I would say is the most useful aspect and also learning of those areas that are at the cutting edge that I wouldn’t know about because I’m not a specialist in that area.
I think the organisation and the quality of the delegates was very good.
The information was very informative and helpful. I will suggest this event to all of my friends.
I really enjoyed the interaction with the other delegates of the conference, and learning a lot about a new generation of technologies, especially third generation sequencing technologies.
