Making the case

The sessions were very informative and I was able to network with many

other users and contractors. The exhibit hall was amazing, and the

vendors were extremely interesting.

“

”

I was able to meet individuals that will be valuable resources for me in the

future. I also really enjoyed the exhibitor showcase which allowed me to ask questions and learn more about

the products and services that many companies offer.
