The day was interspersed with networking breaks and ended on a Q&A for our SciBite panel, followed by a drinks reception.

We were all extremely excited at SciBite to host our very first UGM, and are enormously proud of its success – but don’t just take our word for it!  Here are a couple of quotes from delegates:

…the best part of the event was the open and honest knowledge sharing.

and

…the best of the event was twofold: face to face interaction with both peers and other companies and direct face to face access to everyone at SciBite.
