Something new for the show this year will be the incorporation of seminars from some of our Holdan Ambassadors. We will have a small stage area on the booth for ambassadors to share their practical knowledge and expertise.
Each ambassador has selected a specific topic that showcases their speciality and style of working to provide visitors with technology context as well as handy tips and tricks. Here are some of the ambassador talks we’ve lined up:
