The Expo gives visitors the opportunity to keep up to date with trends and innovation, talk to exhibitors and attend seminars to gain some knowledge to develop their business and to get latest updates to industry and the community.
Pigeon Penguin Web & App Development are one of the exhibitors and it’s director Phil Bowen said:
“I have been to the Expo a number of times and each time I have found it very worthwhile. We exhibited for the first time last year and in doing so we made some great contacts. We had some very interesting conversations which have really helped our business over the last 12 months. The speed networking sessions workshops are a very good way of meeting a lot of people in a very short time. I would encourage all Midlothian and East Lothian businesses to attend.”
