As reported by Lyndsey Michaels, later that same day, one of the afternoon workshop sessions was a discussion on how best to help SMEs network and keep up to date with the massive changes the industry is experiencing right now. A major point was that SME’s rarely have the financial and human resources to attend such conferences in person and as a result, may not have the opportunities to influence policy and infrastructure that the bigger players can easily afford to capitalise on.

We managed to catch this gentleman immediately after the EASN conference, just before he raced out of the venue to go catch his train. Many thanks to him for stopping and sharing his thoughts with us.
