What past participants said about previous ATC Programs
OMAR ZUAITER
Emudent (Semi Finalist)
"First and foremost the entire event was very well organised to the level of fine details. It was designed to make the participants feel very comfortable and focus on the event, rather than run around to get coffee or a meal. The premises, communication, logistics, catering were superb. The panels were world-class, thorough, relevant and though provoking. The networking opportunities were priceless. Well done."
OWEN BEARD
Universal Field Robots
"This is one of the few events aimed at scaleups, not just early startups, so it's great to have been able to learn more relevant information and not just rehash prior learnings."
CAROLYN MEE
Sound Scouts (Semi Finalist)
"The panels were great and the opportunity to ask lots of questions was invaluable."
KURT ALEXANDER
Quick Safety (Semi Finalist)
"Workshops presenters were approachable, welcoming and supportive.”
EBONY FIETZ
AdAlta (2018 Winner)
"I liked the format of the sessions, getting the panel to introduce themselves and allowing a lot of questions from the audience. The breadth of the speakers was really good, representing a good cross-section of industries."
SANDRA AST
AusSI Systems (Semi Finalist)
"The opportunity to network and connect with other serious businesses has been very valuable."
