Reviews

What participants say

In terms of content the event met my expectations, and the exchange of information between the participants and lecturers was enriching; the knowledge gained can be used in practice.

Dr. JUDr. Emil Semjan, PhD., LL.M. · PP Protect

The event exceeded my expectations - a beautiful setting, interesting talks and many intense discussions. I would gladly attend again.

Eva Fedorová · UPC Broadband Slovakia

Everything great, as always. The Bootcamp always makes sense for me because there is room to go deep into the subject, to converse and interact. The quality of the talks, presentations and overall information is very high. The overall impression is always excellent!
