~ Matt Grest, PlusNet“This event is generally regarded as the UK’s (and probably Europe’s) premier event for the web app industry.”
~ Dion Almaer, Google“I just wanted to let you know that you put on a heck of a show, and I am really glad that I got to be a part of it.”
~ Drew Benvie, theblogconsultancy.typepad.com“FOWA has always caught my eye when it comes around because of the sheer amount of chatter it creates across the web. It's the one event that draws the genuinely interesting speakers from the industry... And because of that, everyone in the media chatters about it too.”
