IPEC SUPPLIER TESTIMONIALS

“It was a great conference… I got 2 RFPs DURING an  appointment that the client wanted sent out on the spot… that was a first.  I’m definitely interested in returning!”

> Director of Sales, Major CVB

“The event was absolutely amazing and I would not hesitate to participate again. From the education to the attendees to the networking/partnership opportunities, the event is a ‘must do’. To bring together such a specialized group of individuals that we would not otherwise have an opportunity to meet and learn from in a larger format/setting, shows that your organization is an indus-try trend setter.”

> Director of Sales, Leading Golf Resort

“I have been in this industry for many years and can say without hesitation that this is one of the best events that I have ever attended. All the organizers are to be congratulated!”

> Director of Sales, Major CVB
