Arbortext APP World (3B2) Users’ meeting 2014
London UK event review

Event Review

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this years event.
Without support from Arbortext and APP users’ and our excellent speakers, it would not be feasible for us to continue independently organising and hosting such events.

28 people, from 23 companies in 8 different countries joined us in London for this years user event for what was the most technically minded, open and relaxed event to date.

Products such as Arbortext and in particular APP can be tailored and adapted for use in so many different industries and types of publishing solutions. So finding relevant and interesting content to present at a user orientated event can be a challenge. This year was heavily technical ranging from topics on user Interface right through to heavily automated API scripted demonstrations.

Feedback was overwhelmingly positive from everyone that attended.

A small event gallery is at the foot of this page.

I look forward to welcoming everyone again the next time.

Regards

Chris Western
CEO tformat ltd.
