Attendee Reviews

 

“I found the format far superior to any typical trade-show. Instead of 

wandering a hall, finding a vendor I wanted to talk to, and then having 

to wait in line to speak, I simply showed up at the booth at the 

appointed time and had an uninterrupted discussion with the vendor I 

was interested in. It was a great use of my time.” 

Chief Operating Officer, SwimOutlet.com 

 

 

“The Scope East event was an excellent venue for meeting a number 

of key suppliers on a more personal basis and to develop relationships

try to figure it out on the fly."

"I enjoyed the fact that you guys organized who we should speak to, and
everyone we spoke to had a little bit to offer a company like us, and I spent a
bit of time speaking to the people you didn't set up for us and sure enough
they didn't have much to offer us, so you guys did a really good job on
picking who we should speak to."
VP of Operations, Total Transportation Services

that many different people and companies and a chance to meet at a social

so far we are only half way through we have had 3 Excellent fits that we are
going to pursue further."
