Zippity Split Plumbing (Exhibitor, 4th year back)
We've made some great relationships here, as well as gotten some really good jobs. So overall, it has been a great experience for us.
Glenn Good (Chair-Elect, BOMA International)
There's something here for everyone, whether it's attending a session, meeting a new service provider, or meeting a colleague and saying, “let's go together and see what's out there that's new that can help me be more productive and efficient.”
Patrick Okamura (IFMA Fellow, Facility Manager, CBRE)
What I get out of this event is the opportunity to walk the floor, talk to vendors, talk to service providers, and also talk to fellow facilities and maintenance professionals that attend this show. A lot of ideas, a lot of opportunities arise just by communicating with these folks.
Cameron Cowan (Head of Strategy, Moat Systems)
There's been such a proliferation of digital advertising and digital outreach. Everybody's inbox is full of emails they didn't solicit, and it's hard to make that connection. But when you're standing face to face in front of somebody, talking to them about the real challenges they face every day, meeting people and shaking hands, that's the environment we need to get to. People buy from people they know and people they like, not just somebody that reached out on a cold email or hit them up on LinkedIn that they've never met.
Joe Gross (American Backflow & Fire Prevention)
The show's been great. We've gotten lots of customers out of it. It's the exact clientele that we try to go after, so it's very targeted, and that's kind of why we do this.
Jerry Neely (VP of Controls, Varitec Solutions)
We have been at this show year after year, and we love the results. We get everybody coming to us. It saves so much time rather than having to go and see all the customers at their locations. They all come to you. We love it.
Marshall MacFarlane (IFMA Fellow, Farnsworth Group)
There's all kinds of resources, there's great breakout sessions, there's a ton of vendors here. Take the time and get down here. It's going to be worth their while.
