"The one-to-one structure of the event is a real strength. It enabled us to talk directly to key influencers who were keen to listen, rather than stand around at typical exhibitions wasting time with tyre-kickers. We’re already organizing follow-up visits to several household name organisations that have immediate projects in mind."
Graham Whistance, MD, Momote
"Congratulations to Ark Group, this was a well organised event with high caliber delegates who wanted to discuss current mobility projects where device and asset management is a crucial part of the solution. This is exactly the type of audience that B2M are targeting."
Julie Purves MD, B2M
"We found the event to be well organised and the venue was excellent. We were able to meet with relevant end-users who also had value in meeting with us. Importantly the people we met all have live projects and have budget. We feel very positive about the future business that this will bring to our organisation."
Richard Thompson, General Manager, EMEA West, Commercial, General Dynamics Itronix
"APD Communications attended the FSMW event to meet up with potential customers for our integrated Mobile Data and Resource Location solutions. The Ark Group arranged excellent, high-quality meetings with top level contacts within the organisations which we had targeted. We are planning to attend next year's event as it is an excellent way to network with key contacts within our target markets in a professional environment with excellent entertainment."
Simone Lynn, APD Communications
What the delegates said:
"Mobile Workforce 2008 was a great event, well organised and focused on the delegates needs. Over the two days I met with suppliers who had been selected to meet my immediate requirements and listened to speakers who actually had something 'real' to say about the challenges faced in mobilising a workforce."
Peter Wright, Service Manager, ABB
"Another well coordinated event - I particularly felt that the content of the delegate presentations was both very informative and probably more importantly, very candid. On many occasions they spoke of uninformed decisions and over set expectations that they made in their past implementations, they were happy to tell all. Their "how we would do it now" details of their presentations would have been invaluable to many of the delegates in audience. But let's not knock these guys down - They had the ambition to take the first steps on field service and mobile deployments and it's these steps that drive the industry."
Nick Meese, mWorkforce Ltd
