Community, noun: "A feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attributes, interests, and goals" The fun picture you see here was taken at the first lecture of the First international Presto summit in Israel last month. The atmosphere in the room during the various presentations was unique. It's as if you could physically feel the brainpower of 250 engineers fascinated by technology in one room. We would like to share with you a bit of the content that was discussed during the conference. Enjoy the read and the videos!
