What Exhibitors Have to Say
We’ve had a fantastic show. We generated at least 40 to 50 quality leads – much better than other shows we’ve been to. We will definitely be back again!
— Lori Kennison, Owner of Rays Dies & Tubing
What we’re getting is a lot more foot traffic, a lot more energy, and a lot more high-quality contacts. In our industry, it’s not about the volume, it’s about the quality. So when people come to us here, we know they’re really serious. These people really want to do a project with us. With any show, if you get one solid contact, that’s great. It’s only day two, and I’d say we’ve got half a dozen solid contacts, so right there it’s worth it.
— Jeff Champ, Hi-Rel Plastics & Molding
We can get out and see new customers here since we’re based in California. It’s a great opportunity for us to grow our outreach, and we’ve been really busy having great conversations and meeting customers that are interested in these kind of devices. It’s been fantastic.
— Alex Canan, Applications Engineer at Zaber Technologies
