Jacobus Eksteen
CEO & co-founder, MATOGENIt’s been amazing to connect with people who have real challenges and are eager for solutions, creating meaningful conversations instead of passing interactions. I was impressed by the sophistication of the audience and the opportunity to engage directly with decision-makers about practical implementations. This year I joined as a speaker, but I’d love to deepen our involvement next year, possibly as an exhibitor.
