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.
