I’m very excited about this year’s agenda as we’ve attracted all the top players in the industry and are addressing key issues that will help advance the sector. This is the biggest exhibit space we’ve had in the history of the show and I think that’s reflective of how relevant electronics reuse is becoming in our world.”
