This is our third time sponsoring. What we really like about FMA is the ratio of sponsors to potential customers. You’re not at a huge trade show. At each event we have gained one customer. We are already signed up for the next one!

Really appreciated the ability to have one on one meetings in intimate settings such as meals, some break outs and at the same time to have some compelling presentations. Both the quality of vendors and attendees were solid. The cost is something I had a problem with in the front end because I had never done this type of program before but the results are evident within 2 days and so we have some great meetings set up. They are with people that make decisions that have budget approval and I confident the investment will return to RC Cubed much faster than some of the other similar investment I make in larger groups. The quality of conversations were not 5 minute how quickly can I get grab their attention before they go to the next person. There were some real exchange of information.

My first FMA Summit here in Chicago and I had no idea what to expect. The thing I identified with is that it is a very intimate event. . It’s my first experience with it and I’ve got to be honest it’s kind of the way to do it. I don’t want this event to get bigger. I think the quality level is superior to any other exhibitions I’ve been to.

It was a little pricy for a small company but I though wait if I did all these cold calls, hired a sales person for this amount of money would that pay off? And I got to tell you the last few days have been great for us. Not only with the attendees but with the other exhibitors. It has proven to me that I will want to do this again. The way everything was set up was very easy. Everything was smooth. We came in, we set up, we knew what we were supposed to do. We knew who we would have one on one meetings with. Particular customers or particular potential customers that want to hear about your solutions which is really nice because you had committed people.

This is our first time attending a Future Facilities Summit. We are attending the one just outside Chicago. Naperville Illinois, May 14th and 15h. we do lots of these types of events, tradeshows and we have been really impressed with this event because of the type of customers we have been able to interact with and the conversations we have had. Couldn’t recommend it higher.

It has been a really great experience. This event has been really great in that we have seen potential customers not once but there has been probably 4 to 5 different touch points in that they have been sincere and meaningful. The format was really nice where you are here for a day and a half there was a lot of great presentations and the right amount of time to interact and do it in a non pressure and sincere kind of way. We will did definitely be coming back…to Tampa. The quality was authentic. In a lot of conferences it can be a lot more manufactured and transactional whereas here it wasn’t about give me your card and I’ll give you mine…it was more about questions and figuring out the why and just having a sincere engagement on how we can help them. We also made some meaningful connections with some of the other partners. The format was unique and different. At yesterdays lunch there were a few folks that signed up to meet with us and we showed up at our lunch table and there were 3 to 4 folks from different municipalities and waiting for us to show up. Usually from a commercial front that is usually not the case. We had some great exchanges and dialogue around what they wanted to know from us and how we could help.

We met people at the right level in knowledge and decision making. FMA did a great job scheduling the meetings. We had a lot of good quality interaction between us and potential customers.

The topics were very interesting and informational. A major advantage to the summit is connecting with colleagues similar to our industries. Services such as venue, meals and exhibits were excellent.

The short, information filled presentations, multiple networking opportunities and cutting edge vendors make this conference a must for any facilities or sustainability prefessional.

The resounding positive attributes of this conference is to me..access. To me the positive attribute is the direct access to high level people in one room that make the decisions for energy procurement and that’s what we do.
