As the dust settles on the ACETECH Global User Symposium Conference 2019 we look back at some of the highlights that helped make this year’s event such a huge success.

The location

Given the fact that the theme of this year’s conference was ‘Building a Culture of Innovation’ and the conference was focused primarily on innovation and advancements in technology, what better location to find ourselves in than the Hotel St Regis. This five star location boasts one of the premier locations in Doha conveniently located in the center of the city, close to the Doha Exhibition Centre and the Qatar Opera House. Built to the highest spec, it provided the perfect back drop for this years’ ACETECH event.

The Speakers

With guest speakers from around the world and far ranging topics, all the feedback received was that this year was really one of the most interesting events yet. Short time slots and industry leading experts giving their presentations meant there was no time for boredom to kick in, and throwing in the panel discussions meant that the event became really immersive and full of powerful insight.
