"I found the event invaluable. Even if I was not in the process of opening an office in the UK, there were many suppliers that I had not met before that we can use in the USA. I am already receiving many of those catalogs.The social events were loose enough where we had a good chance to interact as a group. I have gone to some of your competitors events, and the inexperience of the attendees and buyers had been disapointing. Your event had the highest level of buyers I have experienced to date. Overall a very satisfying experience. Nice Job!"
