The BIA/Kelsey Conference Experience
“So many conferences are only good for networking. Yours has it all…great information, debate, data, and you always seem to be ahead of the curve. Good conferences are very difficult to plan and program. You guys know how to do it!”
Jere Doyle
Founder, President and CEO, Prospectiv
www.prospectiv.com “You had a wonderful, energetic crowd.”
Leslie Berland
SVP, Digital Partnerships & Development, American Express
www.americanexpress.com “I've been to hundreds of conferences throughout my career – I have to say you guys put on a great conference. The content was great, but the opportunity to interact with attendees was outstanding. Not sure why the vibe at your conference was so much easier for making introductions - but it seemed like people came to that event expecting to meet.”
Annette Tonti
CEO, Mofuse
www.mofuse.com “Great conference. Lots of contacts and opportunities. You guys hit a home run on this one.”
Damon Miller
VP, Business Development Platform Products, Poynt
Corporation
www.poynt.com “I learned a great deal and met some fantastic people. The event was really well staged and presented. Also the facility, the breaks and networking areas with the sponsors was very nice.”
Earle Curtice
President, Vossen Corporation
“The BIA/Kelsey ILM East conference has been one of the best opportunities for learning and networking that I have had in quite some time. Being able to connect with actual decision makers has been huge for my business and I look forward to being a regular attendee in the future.”
Ray Abram
CEO, Nearbythis.com
www.nearbythis.com “What an awesome, inspiring event. We really did make several valuable connections, and the conference opened up a few conversations which could lead to business deals over time.”
Ben Jabbawy
Founder, Privy
www.privy.com “BIA/Kelsey conferences find the right balance of content sessions and networking. I always learn quite a bit when I attend.”
Steve Sanger
VP, Business Development, GrubHub
www.grubhub.com “As a first-time attendee of a BIA/Kelsey conference, I was absolutely thrilled with the utility of the event for our business purposes. We were able to meet numerous relevant contacts with great potential for new business, and were able to do so in a comfortable, professional environment with accommodating staff, delicious food and beverage, and first-rate care for our needs as an exhibitor.
I would recommend that anyone who wants to meet top-notch professionals and learn more about the cutting-edge in directory-related business, media, and information technology put these events on their calendar.”
Roger Casey
Manager, Business Development, WillowTree Apps
www.willowtreeapps.com “That was an awesome show! I've been to other conferences and this was the best conference I've ever been too. This was my first BIA/Kelsey show, so I'm planning on attending as many as I can from now on. The flow of the show was good for networking, meetings, and listening to insightful domain experts. I'm glad there were all decision makers there... talking to the right people is important.”
John Vitti
Cofounder and CMO, Mobile Spinach
www.mobilespinach.com “I've been to a bunch of conferences over the past couple of years and this was the most worthwhile for us as a player in the local space - very targeted, great speakers, etc.”
Michael Tavani
Cofounder, ScoutMob
www.scoutmob.com “It was a great experience and great people. You and the staff did an amazing job of assembling a tremendous group of people to share ideas and contacts.”
Kimberly Cook
VP, Sales, Greenlink
“The sessions were informative and I had numerous meetings with companies that we are talking with, have talked with ... and would like to speak more with. Thanks again for suggesting that we attend the event.”
