Testimonials

In Financial Services:
 
What surprised me was the value that I got from the one on one meetings with vendors. I came to network with my peers but a few new relationships were surprising. I can be pretty tough to reach at the office and that can sometimes work against me…”
Gerard Muldoon, Managing Director, Credit Suisse First Boston

“I didn’t always agree with my peers but we had an interesting time looking at some of the pressures of compliance.”
Edward Jones, CIO Americas, Deutsche Bank

“It is one of the best formats that we are working with right now. We have sponsored two GDS summits and are looking forward to our third. The team have looked after us well and introduced us to customers we would not have otherwise met.”
Andrew Wilson, Partner, Accenture

In Telecommunications:  
 
“I have brought two members of my immediate team to this event.  I did this because I wanted to get out of the office and talk to my competitors about what they were doing.  Sounds crazy but sometimes you just need to ask!  We enjoyed ourselves immensely and managed to take away some interesting perspectives.  Very much appreciated.”
Sanjiv Ahuja - Chairman of the Board, Orange

“The Summit was well organized and provided an excellent return on investment. We had high level meetings with senior IT executives in our targeted vertical who grasped our solution concepts and were able to see how they would apply through their organizations. The forum provided a relaxed, intimate environment for in-depth, meaningful discussions. We expect to close new business initiated at this event!”
David Stuart, Vice President Marketing, Optinuity

“Just to say thanks for an excellent summit. I believe it exceeded expectations in all areas including: weather, location, food, organisation, participants and value. Thanks again”
