"Following the success of GCF 2010 we were extremely happy to be working with Active Network-Events again in 2011. The theme for 2011 was innovation. We turned to the team at Active to develop a suite of technology to deliver the ultimate delegate experience and add tangible value for our attendees. Their work supported our theme of innovation and also to be a completely ‘paper free' event."
