CEF Live 2019 returned after two years, offering a packed show floor and topical 'Tech Talks'.
Taking place at the NEC in Birmingham on 6-7 June, the event showcased the latest technologies, and innovative ideas within the industry. Visitors to the event, which last took place In 2017, were met with a busy show floor, featuring a variety of stands from a wide range of exhibitors.
