The “Best Poster” and the “Best Demo” (as well as their corresponding honorary positions) were announced at the end of the event, by the industrial panel. Congratulations for the Winners, but well done for everyone.
Companies’ representatives and visitors praised the event and commented that this is the way forward, and students need to get used to this kind of event, presenting their work more and more to potential employers. They are looking forward to an even bigger event next year.
It was my pleasure to organise the event, and especially when seeing students very pleased to participate and enjoying presenting and talking to all visitors (especially with the companies’ representatives).
Thank you for all involved in the organisation and setup, especially the Technical and Admin teams.
A special thank you to Tom Feltwell (LSoCS Technician) for his excellent support and dedication.
Well done everyone.
All the best Amr
