Innovation Speed Date

This week I attended an Innovation Speed Date.

The ideas is that a number of suppliers (in our case, nine) present to delegates in a close format of just a few people at a time. I really liked this as I felt that the sales people were more honest. The experience was more 'intimate' and involving as you could ask questions and really engage with the supplier.

I saw nine suppliers. As I was planning to find out a bit more about a few of them I thought I'd list them here.
