"There's a great opportunity to bring people from your company to meet with maybe the scientists from an entire lab. Because everybody's here you can do a lot of business in a short time. In two days you can do six months' worth of business."

"The Symposium was an extremely worthwhile event for us this year. We made a number of valuable contacts and the procurement overview was particularly interesting and helpful. I was even able to schedule some meetings during the event, and made contact with some of our key customers. The event was a winning combination. Congratulations!"

"A PlanetConnect Symposium removes us from the usual buyer-vendor scenario. At this event the communications are very collaborative and productive. It makes our job of understanding testing needs much easier. This forum is an absolute necessity for us."

"This PlanetConnect Symposium last year probably gave me 50 leads – not names, but leads. You bring great value to us because you host hundreds of researchers who are interested in our technology and I've made more than I paid for the investment of coming to the show."

"PlanetConnect’s internal shows allow me to talk freely with the company’s scientists about their specific projects, which I wouldn’t be able to do in an open Forum. And it’s good for them to all come to one location and compare the new technologies that are out there. They share information and bring others over to meet us. That’s really refreshing."
