A fantastic first day at #simtechlive.
Simulation technicians from all over the country coming together to share ideas, knowledge and experiences.
Rounded off by a BBQ in the glorious British weather ☔
Thankfully we're making use of the @MAA_Charity covered garden area.
Thanks to all our wonderful attendees and workshop hosts for making this day so successful.
See you Friday for day 2.
