There are a lot of professional people here that come across Europe, and it helps to get in 1 day or 2 days a lot of professional meetings set up. And nobody needs to travel somewhere else, so that helps for all involved parties here. That saves time of a lot of people.

Helmut Schuller

I never experienced, let's say, having a dedicated people who are really supportive in whatever we need.

This is brilliant, outstanding.

Giannis Meletiadis

Deputy CTO

Zarifopoulos S.A.

The fact that the personal manager really helps you structure even before the event, what your goals are, what you need to do, and how to act on them. So I can say that I'm very satisfied with how things have evolved.

Gianluca Rospo

Head of Asset Management & Shut Down Development

Bonatti S.p.A.

This is not our first time at AUTOMA. So, we see also a big benefit, first of all because you have the opportunity to check new ideas, new technologies, that are popping up to the ears. We also exchange ideas with other colleagues, our competitors, also other pierce of the sector. So, you can also learn and take home the new way of doing buisness.

András Buti

Automation and Process Intelligence Manager

MOL Plc, Danube Refinery

Many people contacted me after the presentation. And we had very good discussions, shared experience. I shared our experience in MOL, but after the presentation with these face to face discussions I received I think 10 times more information and suggestions and advice. So, this I take with me home and integrate it to our work.

Luigi Anselmi

AUTOMA has become a community rather than just a conference. And this is the positive thing. That means that there is something, there is a strong foundation, upon which people believe.
