Testimonials

“The MCS Emerging Technologies Workshop was a huge success in giving fisheries enforcement experts and industry players the opportunity to come together and discuss the day-to-day challenges MCS experts face and the role technology can play in addressing these challenges. As a company that strives to lead innovation, this workshop provided priceless learning and networking opportunities and we will certainly take part in upcoming workshops.” – Yuval Magid, Business Development Officer, Windward 

“I had the privilege of attending the 2016 Emerging Technologies Workshop hosted by the WWF in Auckland, New Zealand.  The two-day workshop encompassed a range of technologies, both current and future and challenged those present to consider how such technologies could support them in their roles and functions. Unlike some other workshops, every presenter brought a unique aspect of technology for consideration by the audience. The workshop was extremely well run and I would highly recommend attendance by anyone who is considering the introduction or extension of technology in the workplace.  I am certainly looking forward to the next workshop.” – Gary Orr, Manager Compliance Operations, New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries

"The MCS Emerging Technologies Workshop is an excellent forum for those with interests in the Pacific Fisheries community to learn about new technologies, their potential applications and more importantly, to better foster collaboration amongst those who manage this precious resource. The networking opportunities are plentiful and sessions are very open and informative. The event is also very well run and the venue was superb. We look forward to participating again." – David Martin, Vice President Global Sales & Marketing, exactEarth Ltd.
