The SAS has come and gone. A lot of great knowledge was dropped during the conference including insights on Poseidon, Adwind and Metel. As we come back to reality, we wanted to summarise the event with some of the top Tweets (in no particular order) that we saw during the conference. Let us know in the comments below if we missed any.
