The keynote with Ray Avery, CEO Medicine Mondiale was really interesting and showed how individual actions can make a difference.
The big focus this year was of course in virtualisation and cloud computing. I managed to attend a few sessions, meeting some people around the marketplace and had a good time overall.
Here are the Tweets I sent from this event:
