TechVent shows off industry-leading tech

The first-ever hosting of TechVent has been held at CEME focusing on the latest technologies and trends that are transforming the business world.

TechVent showcased awe-inspiring demos including a look into the world of Augmented Reality from Zappar, looking at how it can be used in games but also as a marketing tool for advertising.

There was a demonstration of project mapping by Motion Mapping, which highlighted the potential to turn any surface into a motion-fuelled masterpiece.

The extensive speaker programme bought invaluable insight not just into growing a start-ups but a unique level of tech industry knowledge.

Guests heard from Phil Elliott, Director of Community & Indie Development at Square Enix, who provided a glimpse into how start-ups can build a buzz around their product and be ready to sit in front of investors.

Legendary Steve Huckle, Director at Shark-Infested Custard, gave an in-depth look at game development and how it has changed in his time.

Frazer Merrick, Creative Director of Teaboy Games, also showed off his innovative approach to getting children involved in art and science through interactive exhibits.

A panel discussion also looked at the merits of social media networking when launching a business and how to create a buzz around a potential project prior to seeking investment.
