Testimonials: 

  • "I thought it was ABSOLUTELY worth my time and money to get a booth. As a small business, it gave me so much visibility and drew in those with whom I wanted to speak. I just wish I had an employee to man the booth so I could network more! But I think the connections I made will help me achieve that goal."

  • "It was nice to have the fair back in action this year. We always seem to get some potential opportunities or learn something we didn't know about - like procurement sites we were not aware of! Lunch was really good! Thank you!! We are looking forward to seeing you again next year!"

  • First time attendance, excellent experience. Will attend again.

  • Great event looking forward to attending next year! Thank you.

  • The entire event was very organized and presented in a professional manner.

  • In addition to those exhibiting, the networking with other companies that the event provided was very helpful and informative.
