''What stayed with me the most were the people.

Reconnecting with colleagues and friends from all over the world, meeting others for the first time and having those side conversations that make you rethink things or see them from a different angle.

I'm heading home with a head full of ideas and a much clearer sense of director and also the feeling that we really do grow stronger when we share openly and work together.''
