Dan Speed, Managing Director at BigHand, says, “The BigHand User Conference is a showcase of not only BigHand and our products, but also of our clients’ work and the impressive innovation happening in the industry. We were delighted to have been joined on stage by 16 of BigHand’s clients, who shared real-life experiences of running operational improvement projects, and how technology is key to underpinning those.”

Briana McCrory, Group Marketing Director at BigHand, adds “BigHand is a technology partner intent on listening to its customers to provide exceptional assistance, through both technology and advice. The BigHand User Conference provides us with vital feedback that goes straight into our product development, and also provides us with the opportunity to give something back to our clients. A personal highlight of mine was when we were joined by Olympian Steve Smith, who gave a highly motivational and amusing keynote speech.”
