ABOUT SYSCAN'11 TAIPEI

This will be the 4th SyScan conference in Taipei and this year we intend to promote more interaction between the speakers and the attendees. To do so, we will be having a networking dinner party for all attendees and speakers on the first night of the conference. Hopefully within a relaxed environment of alcohol food, attendees will be able to ask more questions, achieve 2-way communication and get to know the speakers better.

The dates for SyScan'11 TAIPEI will be 17 - 18 November 2011.
