TESTIMONIAL: 

I’ve been in this industry for 25 years around technology and it’s hard even for us who are living it 8 hours a day, we all know it’s more than that but, it’s hard for us to keep up and so from a consumer standpoint, especially those who are really tech savvy, to be able to go to a channel like IFA and learn what’s on the horizon, what’s happening this year, what’s happening next year, what’s three years out; what a great forum to then be able to learn and keep pace with what we all know is a very fast paced industry
