Managing director of the KBBG Bill Miller: “With the National Space Centre as our venue, it was only right that this year’s Annual Members’ Meeting encompasses a futuristic theme.
“Each of our speakers will provide our members with key information to help future-proof their businesses.
“There will also be updates from myself, and the Der Kreis team, covering the success of the group, plus our latest projects and initiatives, alongside plenty of networking opportunities throughout the day.”
Alex Rollinger of ArtiCAD added: “Following the success of exhibiting at last year’s event at Silverstone, we’re excited to return as headline sponsors for the 2024 Annual Members’ Meeting!
“At ArtiCAD, we’re constantly seeking opportunities to connect with our industry and this event is a perfect platform for us to demonstrate our dedication to innovation and technology-driven solutions.
“Whilst AI may seem daunting to many, our presentation will highlight its potential for optimisation rather than a robot takeover!”
