TESTIMONIALS
This event that has definitely raised the Customer Value Proposition while clearly setting a new standard of excellence (i.e. - value) in conference-style events. The quality of the people attending the event was superb. People with vision, goals, focus, and a challenging mindset tuned to doing the right things for the right reasons (including new ideas and concepts) was the norm where it is typically the exception. The quality of people created a very stimulating environment. The design of the event that very adroitly brought us all together in many interactive ways, stimulating discussion in a creative flow that constantly brought introduced people to people, and people to topics. The resulting information sharing and learning was the strongest benefit of the event. The event also attracted vendors that by-in-large were aptly able and actively engaged in the peer-to-peer exchanges going on throughout the summit. That again is typically the exception rather than the norm, and I must say it was a very exhilarating breath of fresh air.
“GDS exceeded the conference/summit market expectations by leaps and bounds. The one place you can expect to see us in 2008? GDS events, of course!”

“I’ve never met so many customers under one roof. When we fly out to meet customers, there’s a lot of overhead that goes into actually getting to the right guy. It costs us a lot of money. Out here in two days I met with seven.”

“This is the best event I have been to without exception. I know plenty of people in the telecoms industry but you have put me in touch with executives that would take us months to find. We have a fantastic product and we need to meet as many decision makers as possible, quickly, before the competition gets there. I want to sponsor future events and I want to be in your magazines.”
