PESS 2013 Event Feedback

Sponsors:

• You guys do a nice job of mixing presentation and networking time.

• Got ‘strong prospects’ from both London and NY.

• It was a good event and we were happy with the outcome.

Delegates*:

• Excellent event. Great opportunity to get acquainted with software and services companies.

• Another excellent PESS Showcase this year.

• Focused event with a lot of "take-aways" on progress in the PE space both in terms of solutions as

well as adoption - good networking, too.

• A very well organized event. Many presenters made the effort of not just talking about their own

products but of covering common issues and best practices. This was useful to all attendees, not

just to prospective clients.
