Comments From Previous S.COM Events
I would say that the event was very well run, with a host of interesting and very knowledgeable company representatives. The technology used, and on display was excellent, and the informal atmosphere created enabled relaxed approach to networking and vendor discussions. I would certainly attend another event in the future.
Internal Audit ManagerAll the vendors were very agreeable, they didn’t push sales, they were enthusiastic about their products and the two different panels were fantastically well selected to gel together to produce excellent overall security coverage. Everyone was friendly and helpful and the location was perfect.
