What delegates have to say
“I’d like you to know that your efforts have been noticed and appreciated throughout 2023. We may not see each other face to face very often to show our gratitude, but we really appreciate all that you do. We would especially like to thank you for the invite to the user event last week. We thoroughly enjoyed the day, (maybe not the origami bit quite so much, hee hee) and came away with lots of ideas and knowledge to be used in the new year.”
Tracy Lister, Walsall Council

Delegates share their thoughts
My key takeaway is… it was useful to hear how authorities use streets and other data and to get a good understanding of Astun’s technologies. Great networking opportunities supported by a great team at Astun. Thank you.
I’d like to tell the team…great job by all involved. Taking a look at my malfunctioning laptop was well and truly above and beyond 🙂
My key takeaway is… it was interesting to see how others were using iShare and the data/tools available.
I’d like to tell the team…great event – well done 🙂
My key takeaway is… there are still software developers who care about their products.
I’d like to tell the team…well done, hopefully see you next year!
