Who will Attend

Unlike many research conferences, the eChallenges Conference and Exhibition Series provides the opportunity to meet with practitioners, project managers, software engineers and researchers from industry as well as research and academic organisations. This is because of eChallenges' strong focus on promoting knowledge sharing and exploitation rather than simply dissemination of research results. Delegates enjoy the opportunity to network with business owners and executives from SME support organisations, government agencies and multinational organisations as well as researchers and senior academics from around the world.

Apart from attracting quality keynote, case study, technical, policy and research presentations, this conference series attracts high quality delegates and exhibitors. The last three conferences have brought together over 500 delegates from around the world, representing the most influential and significant ICT audience assembled in Europe.
