Compass Informatics 2025 Events

Another very busy and productive year for the team at Compass Informatics in 2025. Throughout the year, we attended, hosted, presented at and exhibited at a wide range of fantastic events across the research and innovation landscape.

Each event gave us the opportunity to share our expertise, connect with industry peers and partners, and keep up with the latest developments in a fast-moving, data-driven world. It was also great to have more of the growing Compass team out and about at events, reflecting another year of continued growth for the business.
