Ashton Geo at the AGI
2 October 2009

 

Nathan went along to the AGI to better understand the state of the industry and how the sector has been faring over recent months.  

This was my first visit to the annual AGI conference and I was anticipating a great event from the feedback from last year attendees and was not disappointed. These conferences are great opportunities for me to better understand the limitations and benefits that the systems can offer as well as keeping an eye on both emerging markets and major new projects.  

It was of course a fantastic networking opportunity and in addition to catching up with many old faces the conference allowed me to meet a number of really interesting new clients and candidates.  

Whilst the overall focus of the conference outlined many of the problems facing the sector over the coming months there were numerous green shoots appearing with the majority of clients suggesting they were on target to hit or had reached targets for the quarter.  

I look forward to Ashton playing a major role in next years conference and can thoroughly recommend it to those that have considered attending before.
