May 11, 2009 – 8:07 pm
Post-show feedback attests to the success of the EXPO, with many commenting that despite today’s economic climate, the show provided many exhibitors with a unique opportunity to interact with quality contacts both established and new!
“EXPO opened a lot of opportunities for us including several potential partnership as well as many potential clients,” said Sheila Vaske of E-Waste Technology. “The reception we received from exhibitors and attendees alike was outstanding! It was well worth our time, energy and money.”
“The 2009 Providence Chamber Business Expo was a great opportunity for Ananke to showcase our services to local business leaders. We were able to make connections with several potential clients and begin to develop partnerships with decision makers across all lines of industry. We consider the Expo to be valuable in many ways and look forward to attending next year.”
– Jayne Conway, Ananke
“As President of the University PDC I am moved to applaud you for an Expo that ignited the entrepreneurial spirit in Providence and Southern New England. In one day I personally had the Governor bridge me to Brown University’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, enrolled (8) new clients in our Approach Sensitive Systematic Selling™ Class, and introduced (1) out of state CEO to our Center.”
– Dennis Rebelo, president University Professional Development Center
