Collaborations Workshop 2017 (CW17), #CollabW17, took place at the plush Leeds University Business School from the 27th to 29th March 2017. Over 80 people attended, and the themes of the workshop were the Internet of Things (IoT), Open Data and Software Sustainability. With an eclectic mix of lightning talks, keynotes, Q&A panels, discussions with speed blogging, collaborative idea sessions, mini workshops & demos, a social programme and a Hack Day it was a feature packed and immersive event.
