This expo was a great opportunity for me to learn about the latest battery and EV tech, ask questions directly to experts, and even explore career opportunities. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to break into the industry or stay current with trends. The quality of attendees was impressive. I met several key decision-makers and suppliers we could potentially work with. It’s definitely worth the trip if you’re in the space.
