“(David) I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what a pleasure it is working with Erika Kerr on the many events in which we participate. She is very efficient and always so pleasant on the phone. She always does follow-up to make sure all the details are handled. I’m sure she is one of your key assets and keeps thing working smoothly.”

BTW, the OSDBU Conference went off without a hitch for us and was very beneficial – the best show of the year , in our opinion.

“(Dave) Sign us up for next year!!!!! You and your crew did a fabulous job!!!!

“(Rhonda) Thank you so much for all your help…your people were wonderful to work with.”

“You’re awesome Donna! Thank you and I look forward to meeting you.”

“Thanks Donna. Lita is ANOTHER delightful person connected with OSDBU! We sure are blessed to have each of your helping us through this conference.”

“Karin, the Las Vegas event was exceptional. We are already handling 8 SDVO set-a-sides. Thank you for the part that you played in a truly exceptional event. We will be there next year.”

“(Tina) I don’t have David Powell’s email address, but would you please pass along my thanks to him for sponsoring the “Making Your Govt Exhibit Work” workshop. I’ve already implemented some of the ideas that were offered (lead sheet) and have received positive results. I just wanted to say that it was really nice of FBC to offer this session and I hope there will be more to come! Thanks, Margo”

“(Erika/Bob) I can’t thank you enough for reserving that table for Rajant at yesterday’s Pentagon show. The traffic was better than usual. It really helped having that table. I spotted UASF Maj Gen Mike Peterson walking around and grabbed him for a presentation. We would not have had this opportunity otherwise. I’m trying to get Rajant and Applied Identity to the DISA show. More about that later.”

“(Dear Kelly) We have supported 2 tech expos per year for the past many years. One provided by {another federal event company} and one provided by the Federal Business Council. It was determined by the Boulder Labs Executive Board that only 1 expo was needed per year. We conducted a survey after each of the past expos and it was overwhelming determined that the FBC expo was favored by the staff for both technical content and organization."

“(Dear Vicente) I wanted to thank you for all of your efforts to make the EKMS Conference a success for us. As I mentioned to you and the FBC team at the end of the show, I was very happy with the way that the exhibitors were integrated as an important part of the conference. I know it took a lot of attention and effort and we truly appreciate it. We felt that the conference was very valuable and we look forward to attending next year. I took not of your offer for us to do a briefing next year, and if we have topic that is both interesting and beneficial to your audience, we will let you know. Thanks again for everything. It was a pleasure meeting you. Best regards.”

“I received a very impressive, positive comment from our customer, Talla-Tech, Inc., Bob Carpenter yesterday that I must share. He is a new account and has exhibited in one other event, Fort Benning. He praised the service and high level of profession attention that he received at both events. He said that FBC was one of the highest level service oriented organizations that he had ever had the opportunity to be associated with. Please, he said, pass along his impressions to everyone connected with providing such a high level performance. He said that he will be looking forward to many more events in the future. All, it seems to me, should be included in these praised, since we all contribute to this kind of customer satisfaction. Pleasurably submitted”

“(Hi Rhonda) Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to you. The VA SDVOB Expo was a great event for us. We generated 10-12 solid leads and about twice that many longer term leads. Since the Expo, we’ve been working on a proposal generated at the event that looks like it will turn into a nice order. We are considering some of your other events based on the success of this one. I’ll be in touch.

“(Mike) Hello. After telling you yesterday how great it was to work with Victoria yesterday morning, I have another bit of praise for you. Anna (and I never got her last name) helped with the last session of the day in the “B” track…she was great. She introduced herself, told me that she was there to hold up the “time to go” cards at the back of the room, and would help with any other issue that might come up. We had the beginnings of an issue with microphones, and Anna was there to help, if needed. Whoever gets the credit for hiring such great people as Victoria and Anna should be commended. Victoria and Anna should also be commended for being so helpful and customer oriented. That level of service is a breath of fresh air. Thanks again.”

“(Dear Rhonda) As usual you put on a terrific event and most importantly we want to thank you for our location. It appears the show was a tremendous success based on contacts and the follow up we are doing as I write. The orders are the true barometers of any event and it is a bit too early to evaluate, but all things look quite positive. Again, a great event. Best regards,”

“(Dave) Just wanted you to know how happy I was that we participated int eh FAA Conference. This was my first experience with an FBC event and, as a result of this experience, my company will be participating in several more events. Logistically from pre-show instructions through tear down, your folks did a great job. In addition, I lef the show with several well qualified leads and already have some appointments scheduled with completely new prospects. I appreciate the professionalism of the staff at FBC and look forward to working with you. Thanks again.”

“(Hi Stacy) Just a quick note of follow up to the NRL table-top of April 11…wanted you to know that I have a pending deal for that show! One again your show provided access to a facility that otherwise is virtually closed to the outside world. That is a very key value point for your events in my mind. Without this particular show, I would not have been at the NRL that day, would not have met his particular person, and would not have this pending deal. Thanks also to your –continued!- great support & the team’s effort to create and promote these events. I have never had an issue with the cost justification of attending FBC events! Best regards,”

“(Hi Diane) I want to thank you so much for sending this list to me. I really appreciate your promptness. It adds to the overall positive experience that my partner and I had at the OSDBU conference. See you next year.

“(Dennis) It was great meeting and working with you’re and Lindsey also. We appreciate your contribution to the Las Vegas AFCEA Chapter. It’ll go a long way to providing scholarships to the needy science departments in the public schools here in town. We’ll be more than happy to work with you guys again next year. Until then, take care.

“(Hi Rhonda) What a whirlwind of activity last week at the Conference! I couldn’t believe how many people I spoke to in one day, but it was absolutely terrific to exhibit and be part of the event. Thanks again for all your support in making the vent run smoothly and for helping me get all my ducks in row with exhibiting and working on the bags and notebooks for the event. I certainly appreciated the opportunity, and I hop Liz will not hesitate to contact me about other events in the future. I’d like this to be an ongoing partnership, because it was so fun to work on the event support. Have a good evening, Rhonda, and I’ll look forward to connecting with your again in the future. You are just terrific to work with!”

“Dave…I’m an exhibits manager for Lockheed Marin and wanted to send a quick note telling you what a great Help Karen has been on 2 small shows that popped up out of nowhere. I’m currently working 2 large International shows for Lockheed and these small unscheduled shows were quite honestly a pain. Karen has been so helpful in keeping Armor Conference and TETC straight for me. Always helpful, ready to get the answer and very quick to respond…wish all show management account managers were like her. Please pass on to her my heart felt thanks.

“Thanks for all of your help…Have talked to Gabe – he is great, we are all set for the 24th show…and talked to Richard, he is great too, so thanks for that referral.

‘(Stacy) BTW: Forgot to tell you, we did a show with NCSI at Norfolk on Wednesday: Totally a waste – I sent Mike Weinstein, and he said it was poorly planned, and not the audience we thought it would be… That was the first – and last – NCSI show I have ever signed up for!!”

“(Hi Diane) Thanks for the speed, your list in one day is a record among the expos companies I work with!!”

“Liz…looking forward to the conference this year. Know this has been crazy but am really glad you are all back at the helm of the ship. See you all on the 5th.”

“(Rhonda) Let me begin by saying “Thank You” for being so willing to help me out! Next week would be great. I have to tell you that I have never had such good service from an event service. Let me know what you guys come up with…Thanks again!!!”

“The Armor Symposium has been our best show to date. Thaks again fo the follow up on the show. You now know what Partsmaster about so please keep us posted when you believe there might be a good fit! It was a pleasure meeting you and next time I am in town I will be in touch!! Thanks again.”

“(Karin) That was a GREAT event. I’ve attended numerous exhibitions run by other organizations and yours was far and away the best organized, value-added event in which I’ve participated. The location was excellent and we had many mid-to-senior level decision-makers stop by. The thoughtful little things like passing out donuts mid-morning and bringing backpacks to the vendors at the end of the day were the icing on the cake. Well done!”

“I’d be delighted to sing your praises!! FBC is the most professionally-run conference management contractor that I have dealt with in more than 10 years of planning conferences. It is comforting to know that everything will be done right.”

“(Dear Ms. Maestretti) Please accept my sincere appreciation for your outstanding support of the 2006 Technology in Education and Training Conference hosted by AETC and the San Antonio Chapter of the American Society for Training and Development. Your efforts directly supported 42 vendors, 45 speakers and over 300 training and education practitioners and decision-makers from government, industry and academia. You ensured the success of the 2-day symposium/expo and demonstrated innovative instructional technologies that could enhance Air Force training and education. Again, thanks for your outstanding work!”

“Mark did a great job supporting us on site. And Karen was wonderful with the pre-show support. This was a very positive experience for Northrop Grumman. Thank you!”

“(Dear Ms. Hood) I was a presenter at the recent TETC conference in San Antonio. By accident I left my laptop’s power supply at the conference. I called and was put in contact with FBC’s Dennis O’Neill, who was able to locate and send the power supply to me in Austin (using by company’s FedEx number). The package arrived safely today. I do not have Dennis’ email address, and the FBC site didn’t list it. But it listed yours under convention services, so I assume that he is a colleague of your; I ask that you please forward this thank you message to him. I greatly appreciate his friendly service.”

“Thank you for keeping me current of other conferences, right now I would like to book a 10 x 30 space for next year at the Infantry conference, also I would like to be kept in the same area, is this possible? I love the show so far this really helps me with my business dealings within the Army.”

“(Mark & Vicki) I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you and Vicki for your professional business attitude and hard work. Your superb efforts made an essential contribution to the success of our Spectrum Management Conference and workshops. We enjoyed having you as part of our spectrum team. Please keep in touch and let me know if I can be of any assistance in the future.”

“(Liz) I personally would like to thank the Federal Business Council for their help. The Census Annual IT Security conference & Expo was a huge success due to primarily efforts of Elizabeth Hood in her diligence organizing of the vendors and support personnel. Thank you.”

“(Dave) The support from everyone down there was outstanding. We definitely want to be a part of the Infantry Conference.”

“(Mike) I really haven’t been here since returning from Colorado. Just wanted to say thanks for allowing me to participate at FISC. The conference was worthwhile for us and we will probably want to continue to attend in the future. Appreciate all of your help and that of your team on-site , they did a great job! See you Friday.”

“(Mark & Vicki) I’m glad that you both had time to enjoy Hawaii. Thanks for your patience and help in working up for our conference. We were amazed in how smoothly the registration process was handled. Bob M. had commented that this was the Best Conference ever (and this was the 31st conference). Thanks again for all your help in making our conference a success. If there is anything you need from me, let me know. I you ever cross paths with Orlando Bloom or Johnny Depp…get their autographs for my daughter, Megan. My regards and much ahoha.”
