Paul Grenyer, nor(DEV):con organiser, told the EDP: “Today technology is so ingrained and intertwined with the local economy that one cannot exist without the other and nor(DEV):con is a celebration of this.”

Microsoft evangelist, Paul Foster talking about the schools day, told the EDP: “We need more technologists, more engineers going forward, so if we can inspire young people to follow a technical education and move forward to a technical career then we will start to have that right workforce there so the UK can achieve more.”
