London 2015

Overall good speakers and panel discussions.  Good insight from company participants who shared their experiences.

Much appreciated! This will inform our future!

A very efficient way to learn about the SaaS model.

I am a tired entrepreneur after many years, but attending this conference was rejuvenating and got me excited about where we can go with our company and the opportunities that are out there for us to make an impact both for our employees and the market we serve but also for some exciting potentia

The quality was outstanding. The speakers are all masters of their material- they spoke with conviction based on passion and experience.

Insightful event! Practical advice and professional guidance, very much in context and relevant to all Tech based businesses.

Well-organized, professional yet friendly, and educational.

I thought the conference was extremely helpful. Each speaker was very interesting and I learned a lot. I had a great time. 

Good conference on a useful topic.

A good group of presenters covering the range of players in the technology arena.

Very worthwhile.  Really on target!  I am very pleased.

I learned what to focus on to build value in our company and what to expect in the M&A process. 

As a two-time attendee, I'm happy to report that this was unquestionably the most powerful conference of its kind that I have ever attended. The caliber of speakers, depth of agenda, and relevance of content was unparalleled.

I think it’s really important that entrepreneurs reach out and find what’s available for knowledge and this is a great opportunity. On top of that, this is an opportunity for people to meet each other and network which is invaluable.

Good program – with excellent speakers.

This conference was fantastic, particularly for startups who are looking at figuring out their exit strategies, the M&A process, what their resources are, and what process they need to go through in order to be successful. 

The quality of the speakers is really high and the size of the conference is perfect  for people to have valuable interactions. This conference is going to help rejuvenate and ignite the startup ecosystem in the Seattle area. 

Having spent a decade or so in major corporations, Microsoft etc. it’s fabulous to be back with such a dynamic, vibrant community that I did not know really existed here in Seattle.

The conference was very good for me. It was very insightful and useful. 

Valuable information and insight. Great to know the desired and required items to prepare for a successful transaction in the future.

There was a great range of folks- local and from other regions.

The Angel Investment Panel was the one that resonated most closely with my heart strings because that’s the closest to where the entrepreneurs are. What was particularly important was the discussion about the role of Angel Investors as advisors first and financial investors second.

This conference has been very helpful for me. The panels were all very, very pragmatic. These people are associated with each of their areas very specifically and they know what they are talking about.

Worthwhile investment of one's time.

I really enjoyed the conference. It was nice to switch from startup events and get more into something like this where you have really high quality VC panels and an understanding from the exit, mergers and acquisitions side. 

Valuable insights to build our startup for the exit and beyond; I'm energized with the valuable insights I learned at the Exit Strategies symposium. Extraordinary!

Good overview in particular on the valuations.

It was an excellent conference!

Very interesting topics, I especially enjoyed hearing the story’s told by Mark Pearson and Teddie Wardi. Bruce Milne’s talk on “top 10” was extremely insightful, great work!

The presentations and panel discussions throughout the day were valuable and any entrepreneur would have gotten a lot of great information to use in their business planning. 

Time very well spent!

Valuable and good networking opportunities.

I thought it was a great conference, it really made me think. It got some ideas stirring in my head, and I appreciated the opportunity to hear this stuff. 

It was among the better conferences I have seen.  Very good content.

I would be remiss not to add that I enjoyed the conference.  Typically, by the middle of the first day, most conferences are confirmed as a waste of time and money.  I felt the conference had no weak spots and I would have stayed for yet a third day!

One of the most informative events I have attended in a very long time.

There was a great balance between breadth and depth of topics covered.  I found it informative and very practical.

Well organized – good diversity of topics: Nice balance of presentation and real case examples. Excellent stimulus of ideas with practical application.

I found the conference to be really great. I didn’t know much about selling a company and I think I have a lot more insight now and I will know where to go when somebody approaches me to buy my company!

This is an incredibly valuable conference.  I think it’s important for entrepreneurs to understand the various mechanics that are in front of them, especially the need to prepare and plan.

Perfectly done! I know what to do now to prepare for my exit. Thanks for showing us different ways of executing exit strategies.

All of the presentations were terrific. The panels were great and the moderators were strong.

Very informative and useful.

Innovative discussions.

It has been very easy to relate to the presenters which made it simple to apply what was being said to my own organization.

It is a very high quality conference, I learned a lot today.

The conference was awesome. It was very informative and I learned a lot.
