“We were able to visit with current customers, engage with active prospects and activate new opportunities in the data furnishing community.” – Joe Storey​, Palinode

“We enjoy having a prominent position as a sponsor and as a speaker, and the opportunity that the event affords with regard to key decision-makers and CDIA executives.” – David Anthony, Troutman Pepper

“Many thanks for your partnership and help in shepherding us through the event (end-to-end, preplanning to close!) We haven’t yet had time to fully decompress ourselves, however, there has been a handful of follow-ups in all directions that have ensued since we wrapped last Friday, including furnishers reaching out to us requesting meetings/ demos, and the like. Suffice to say, we’re already seeing value from our participation.”  – John Sanders, Bridgeforce
