found the IBF conference extremely useful because
it thoroughly covered the topic in a single venue
within a compact time frame. The presenters captured
a wide range of perspectives on the subject from
service provider to user, all with an in-depth
base of knowledge and experience. Overall, the
forum clearly accomplished its goal of helping
companies understand the complete soup-to-nuts
components of company financing." |

“This is the one chance I have to take the
temperature of what is happening at similar firms--all
in one place. This conference alone is very valuable
to me. I usually get some takeaways around some
techniques/tactics that we haven't yet implemented,
and I meet a lot of folks who are useful contacts
in the future.” |
