FEI Europe — Adapt, disrupt, innovate. This year’s FEI Europe conference in London was full of energy and ideas and I left feeling more motivated and inspired than ever to continue to find new ways to disrupt stale approaches to innovation.

We must continue to innovate and look for new ways to think about and use technology. The good news is that there was plenty of that happening at FEI Europe.   London provided the perfect backdrop for a week of exchanging ideas at FEI Europe.

It also didn’t hurt that I got the opportunity to meet with other thought leaders and enjoy world class...
