Feedback from the 1999 Summit Participants

Here is what Summit participants said about the meeting:

"Great meeting-diverse perspectives provide a global view of industry. Very worthwhile."

"I wanted to write and congratulate you…on a wonderful conference. It was really one of the best meetings of its kind that I have been at, and I have attended many. It was practical, informative, interactive and allowed for a huge amount of very valuable networking. Again, I think you did a super job. We got a bunch of valuable leads and some strong interest from a variety of sources."
