What’s the best thing about PiGs? The best thing about PiGs is how it brings the industry together in a genuinely stress-free and friendly environment.

What makes PiGs different from other industry events? PiGs stands out as its all about networking, sharing knowledge, and keeping the community tight, rather than exhibiting or force-selling.

Who’s someone you love catching up with at a PiGs event? There are so many amazing people I have met at PiGs events, but I especially enjoy cracking jokes with Craig Barker (Koobr) and catching up with great industry friends like Steve Kendrick (Alunet Systems) and Neil Dattani (AluK).

Most memorable PiGs moment (either at an event or an event in particular)? The most memorable PiGs moment for me was the London boat party — cruising under the city’s landmarks while chatting with amazing Industry people. The highlight had to be watching some great dance moves on the shaky boat, which was absolutely hilarious.

Where in the world would you take PiGs to if you could? I would take PiGs to somewhere inspiring but accessible — maybe Dubai where our company has a branch office of which I have spoken to Sarah. A location that’s international, and gives people a reason to combine business with a bit of travel and exploration.

Who should come to the next PiGs event (in one sentence)? A place to build relationships, gain insights, and become part of a welcoming community.
