“It’s been an honor to be here, and it’s been educational for me as well. I’ve seen a collection of a lot of people that we’ve tested with or worked with or heard of and it’s great to connect with them and to know more about other companies who are doing similar things.“
Steve Helmuth

“It’s a conference in the stadium. Thank God! Why can’t it always be at the stadium? It feels so comfortable, and it feels so much like being at home. The on-field demonstration was wonderful. It’s just so great to see the technology in action. I think the format is wonderful and I am surprised and happy to see the number of exhibitors here.”
