Keefe Keahey
Paetec, Senior Regional Director
"The 2006 NY Tech Summit was by far the most useful show we attended last year. Making the NY Tech Summit so valuable was the 'non-salesy' exchange of information between vendor and user alike. This, unlike other shows, isn't a show where most people are 'tire kicking'. We've actually been able to follow-up and are currently pursuing leads, ideas, or otherwise information that was either exchanged, presented, or gathered on the floor or during a breakout session."
