Testimonials

"Congratulations to team Carsonified for another fantastic FOWA Expo, and to Brian Oberkirch & Simon Willison for putting together such a rich mix of high calibre speakers."

Max Jennings, eMomentum

"FOWA has always caught my eye when it comes around because of the sheer amount of chatter it creates across the web. It's the one event that draws the genuinely interesting speakers from the industry too, with a lot of the big US names coming over. And because of that, everyone in the media chatters about it too. FOWA becomes London's gathering on the press and business social media ecosystem."

"With a new venue, which allows for up to 3 presentations (or more) being held at once, the Future of Web Apps this spin round had come up trumps in the level and diversity of speakers. "

"With a great range of speakers and the separate tracks there was always something interesting to see and attend to! I enjoyed tips, tricks and insights - lessons that others have learned. It's super good to get ensurance that I'm on the right track. Loved the mix of dev and business as well - perfect for someone like me who's thinking of starting up. The event far exceeded my expectations. The organisation was excellent, I had a very high hit rate for excellent talks, and the expo area was very interesting. There was a good cross section of people there to meet, and overall I had a great time. As a sponsor it was great to meet everyone and hear first hand the successes and issues people face, what technology they use and how we can help them. Friendly and helpful staff."

"This proved to be an extremely interesting and rewarding experience, if exhausting! The speakers I saw were universally of high quality and were generally world-class 'names' or experts in their field."
