XCHANGE '09

XChange Testimonials

“The Everything Channel event is truly a "must attend" event. This event consolidates such a talented group of vendors that provide such diverse technology products and service offerings, that it would take months for a company to research and identify that amount of talent found at an Everything Channel event. Every company with a vision or without a vision, should attend an event by Everything Channel to help them determine how and with whom they should partner with to grow their company. I have attended three events and at each one I find more vendors with offerings that has helped me organize or grow my business. Thank you very much Everything Channel Staff for all the hard work you do behind the scenes to make it all happen when we attend the events.”
—Paul Sumrall, SumRall Solutions, LLC.

“This was the best event I have ever been to. I met and interacted with more peers than any other conference. the atmosphere was relaxed, organized and conducive to learning.”
—Phillippe Moufflet, Boston Computer Service Experts, New Attendee

“I truly believe that Everything Channel put on a "exceptional" conference this year. I was very impressed with the number of vendors that where there and the willingness to change and enact new partnering programs to assist with future growth and profitability. I hope to get a chance to attend next year as well. As a direct result of attending this year's event, I have formed new partner alliances with vendor and solution partners in my local area.”
—James Dublin, Dublin Technologies, Inc

“From arrival to departure, the entire event was seamless. This was my first XChange event and I left the place more inspired and charged up than ever to make a difference in my world of business. Thank you XChange for bringing to us a world of knowledge as well as such vendors as IBM and Microsoft within our reach! Thanks very much for this great opportunity!”
—Lali Goswami, Nuance Technologies, New Attendee

“The XChange '09 event was fantastic! I was new to the conference this year and it far exceeded my expectations. Overall, attending the conference was a great use of my time as I returned home with stronger channel contacts, a better understanding of industry trends and several potential new vendors. Thank you for hosting such a wonderful event.”
—Sonia St. Charles, Davenport Group, 2009 Fast Growth

“I enjoyed the all of the sessions -- boardroom, tech symposiums, concurrent and general, and world premieres. It was a jam-packed schedule but I learned something every minute! It was great to learn of new technologies before they are even officially announced or launched! For me, there is no other conference or event that brings together so many of my colleagues, vendors, and leaders in one place. It is invaluable to our business and our bottom line.”
—Diane Mammon, Starpoint Solutions, New Attendee

“There’s a lot of new companies here and some new solutions. I’ve met some new solution providers that could be some good partners of mine. One in D.C. in particular— I’m getting more involved in federal government work—and he has a lot great connections. We’ll be meeting later, probably tomorrow to discuss how we can work together. Due to the economy, we know that the federal government is always able to pay on time, and there’s a lot of work there and the stimulus helps.”
—Lana Gertz, Asen Computer Associates, Schaumburg, Ill.

“I’m excited about the core security part of my time here at XChange.  Symantec’s presentation actually inspired me to talk to McAfee because of its new Software-as-a- Service solution. I’m interested to see what McAfee is up to and what is on the market.”
—Brian Anderson, Managing Director, Cw2

“StorageCraft has been partnering with Everything Channel for a while and they have always exceeded our expectations. In March, we were able to participate in our first XChange event, and once again, Everything Channel delivered above and beyond. We scheduled a board room briefing with 20 guaranteed attendees, and we had 30 resellers attend – all eagerly interested to hear about StorageCraft solutions and why they should partner with us. We had many more visit us on the show floor, giving us very steady traffic to and from our booth. We signed up several dozen new small- to mid-size reselling partners and were able to use lunch and dinner breaks to strengthen our relationships with existing partners who were attending XChange. All in all, this was the most successful channel event in which we’ve participated. Once again, Everything Channel showed us that they know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to understanding solution providers and their needs.”
—Laura Shafer, Director of PR & Marketing, StorageCraft

“This was Sunbelt Software's first time participating. It was a great success and I'm sure not the last one! The Boardrooms were especially good in communicating to 18 potential partners at a time. Everyone on the Everything Channel staff was very helpful and professional. Great show.”
—Sunbelt Software

“There are few if any events that allow us to get immediate, candid feedback on our products and services the way XChange events do. The format lets us interact and brainstorm with our partners, potential partners and technology savvy individuals resulting in better relationships, products and programs.”

“Everything Channel staff and executives made themselves amply available for private business opportunity meetings. They listen well and follow up with sound suggestions on how we can partner to better meet our objectives.”
