The entire event was world-class. The attention to detail, schedule and programming were well worth the time and financial investment. The location worked well.– Jeff Guritza, Osborn

This was the best convention I've attended because of the meeting structure, content, activities and venue.– David Zoesch, Schaeffler Group
