Among those in attendance, StatsDrone. Co-founder and CEO of Statsdrone, John Wright, recently offered his startup pitch and reports endless numbers of meetings from London.

ICE London is an ideal venue for this platform.

"We make software for the affiliate marketing industry," Wright explained, adding that his degree in Engineering and background in Artificial Intelligence certainly comes in for this particular project.

"Digitalization was definitely something driven by the pandemic," Blonk noted. "We needed to find ways to work with each other, to cooperate. In the end of the day, just being here with all of our marketing companions, our customers, our partners, (and) see people face to face is tremendously important."

"It's been quite a challenge operatationally, especially because some of our guys, especiallly our tech and product teams, are in the Ukraine," he offered. "So obviously no-one has seen this horrible crisis coming in our way but thankfully as a team we managed to come out of it even stronger."
