Our consultants were amazed at the educational opportunity with increased certification.” - Liz Albert, Marketing Director, Ascendant Technology “ Thanks for helping us to hold a very successful show this past week and congratulations on a great job in the expo. It was well organized and the highly trafficked.” - John Moore, Marketing Director, Juniper Networks “ Thank you for putting on a great show. We found Impact 2009 to be even more valuable than last year. There were fewer attendees but really high quality conversations. I feel it is likely Impact will lead to more converted business and we are excited to follow-up. - Devi Gupta, Vice President Strategic Marketing, Prolifics “ Our Impact sponsorship pays for itself every year through the value we derive including the ability to reach new customers as well as meet our existing customers in one place.
