Comments about last year’s Summit…

“This was one of the best conferences I have ever attended. Dr. Cooper did a great job of facilitating the discussions and connecting the speakers’ presentations.”

David Watson,
Pepperidge Farm Inc.

“In our 25 years of developing and delivering specialized conference and summit events, we’ve never received such high evaluation ratings across the board resulting in an overall 4.6 out of 5.0. There was clearly a ‘buzz’ about the conference for the entire two days”.

Tracey Kimball,
Director of Conferences,
Management Roundtable

The Customer Satisfaction Index from the 2007 Summit indicated that over 90% of attendees would return to another Summit and would recommend this event to their colleagues.
