Testimonials

I had really good conversations today with the number of delegates coming from the region and other places. Quite likely we we will consider it for the next year or your next city. The overall conversations were really good probably some of the really interesting conversations in change management and practical side of it and were really interesting.

I would rate the overall event a 9 out of 10 because it was very strategic and focused, with a mix of decision makers and influencers in attendance. We expect to have a good number of conversions with the enterprise accounts we met, and we are looking forward to working with Exito again in the future. There is a great scope for collaboration and we appreciate the opportunity to participate in this event.

We have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the Digital Transformation Summit, we have attended various talks and have enjoyed listening in about the importance of technology and how important it is to work with people and technology we have also had great discussions with key business leaders that we would like to reach out to and we thank the Exito team for facilitating them and thank you for having us.

I enjoyed the event and found the delegate profiles and presentations very informative. I had productive conversations with potential customers and prospects, and I believe we will generate a decent list of leads for our company. The venue, food, and crowd were all excellent, and I had many interesting conversations and gained a lot of knowledge. We will definitely consider sponsoring DTS in the future.

It was absolutely beyond my expectations. I've attended and sponsored many events in the past, but the kind of turnaround we've seen in this event is fabulous. We're leaving with a good number of opportunities in hand.The discussions have been good, helping us find potential areas of collaboration. These one-to-one meetings have aided networking and identifying collaboration areas. We felt it is more relevant to the portfolio we carry.

I think it is a fabulous event. I got a chance to meet very high level people from the government sector and various industries. I think one-to-one meetings were quiet helpful for us about the customers who wanted to visit us. More than 70-80% of delegates were related to our business.These type of events are helpful for customers and vendors to communicate and give opportunity to learn on market demand and provide solutions to those customers.
