One-to-one meetings with high level managers of vendors and distributors and the exchange of views and experiences with peers from many different countries is excellent.
Piotr Brogowski, CEO, VP, Orion Instruments Polska
The networking opportunities have already helped me grow my business and helped define my strategies.
Andy Trish, CEO, NCI Technologies
Canalys gives me facts and figures, which together with the opinions and private briefings of vendors and "frenemies" allows me to cut through the hype and identify which business opportunities to pursue. The format allows time, efficient access to thought leaders and channel directors and provides clarity to our future planning.
Robert Greenslade, Sales and Markeitng Director, Centralis
Great event, valuable information, excellent networking biotope. My fourth time at this event, and still a very exciting experience.
Jef Matthe, Managing Director, Avitor
I can meet all the country and EMEA exec's over a couple of days with all major strategic vendors and distributors. This would normally take me a few months of planning and travelling. The best forum in Europe!

The best networking event on the planet - talking to the right people with enough time to have beneficial discussions.
