In other words: SPS/IPC/DRIVES set a clearly positive sign for the future.
The conference which took place in parallel to the exhibition recorded an increase this year with 349 delegates attending compared to 302 last year. For three days the conference provided a platform for intensive discussions between researchers, product developers and users. The opportunities for users to exchange information and knowledge were at the heart of the newly introduced user sessions.
