"The calibre of meetings has been outstanding, and we have got some great follow ups and outcomes. The keynote session all seemed to go pretty seamlessly and we look forward to receiving the delegate feedback on that. Finally, the project management and communication for this event has been fantastic, and I think we worked really well together in ensuring everything was on time and on track."

"It's having that opportunity to tell that story, to really educate the marketplace on what makes these events really valuable."

"These events are great for relationship building and early stage lead development tool"

"With the change in the pace of the market and how people are getting information, this is a new way to engage with our prospects. It also gives us more touches and more meaningful touches."

"GDS creates that shoulder to shoulder conversation that intimacy and trust that is so critical to not only grow our business, but to have the impact that we need to have on our partners."

"“We’ve managed to maintain existing communities, and engage some new ones.”"

"Every meeting I get involved with is different. I could be I'm sitting in front of someone in the financial industry and the next one could be in the telecommunications industry. But with the research that we get up front, I know some things at least about the person I'm spending time with so we can tailor and specifically focus on what they'll be interested in, not what we think they'd be interested in."

"You get an introduction to them through the website to get insight into what projects they're working on. And, you know, you can't get any of that information from any other source. You can't find that on LinkedIn. You can't find that on their company websites. Allows us to very much start targeting real issues right away."

"You will leave the summit with best practices to immediately apply back to your organisation and new connections from meaningful conversations. "

"GDS incorporates a live moderator and a real studio with virtual attendees and speakers all being seen at the same time in one place. It truly makes the audience feel like they're in a real keynote room, that a state of the art."

"Establishing that trust with the companies that are on the call, that have projects that are looking for solutions, that are looking for companies to help them and saying, hey, we're going to make sure that we're going to put you in front of companies that can help you. "
