Technology in Action - Success!

The first Eye Connect - Technology in Action was a huge success! We had more than 100 participants and most appeared to be engaged and enthusiastic about the possibilities. As I said at the workshop, this is the first event we have tried using the scenario driven format. As a participant, your feedback is vital to the development of future events of this type.
