Marketplace Testimonials
The conference is a great mix of networking, business resources and personally meeting with both private and public sector contracting decision makers. An incredible value for the price and always worth the time for us to attend.
It is the event that draws folks across the state when many of us touch base once a year face-to-face. Now, in today’s world, with so much telecommunications and web meetings, sometimes in person reminds us all we are in it together as people – not just a persona behind an email or text.
