“This is my first time at these shows. My first impressions? All was well organised, the atmosphere was very pleasant and I could make good contacts. The whole thing exceeded my expectations and I will certainly return next year.”

Mr. Baltissen, system engineer at Call-it
“I wanted to see Infosecurity.nl and Storage Expo, and I also think the Tooling Event was very interesting. I saw some exciting things that were not only new, but also affordable. I came across things that I don’t see every day. This gives you a more overall idea of what is happening in the IT market.”

Leon Verschoor, purchaser for a pension fund:
"I mainly came to see Storage Expo. Within the near future we will be contracting out a project and I came here to gain background information and new ideas. I saw some fascinating developments in the field of storage that I was previously unaware of, so to me the fair was successful! Next to a number of vendor events, this is the most important ICT event in the Netherlands!"

Jaap Kuipers, Chairman of the National authentication platform ECP.nl

Misja Geuskens, System Administrator for a housing corporation
"To me, the shows fairs are a great way to run into old colleagues. It is an ideal place to catch up with old friends and acquaintances again."
-
Joop Marijne, Netformatie BV, Technical Director:
"I came to see LinuxWorld, but I also visited the other shows. It seems a lot bigger than in previous years and I get the idea that more suppliers are represented. I came to visit our suppliers, but also to conduct product research. I met a lot of interesting people, and for me the show was a major success."
-
Marcel van Thuijl, independent worker:
"These shows are the perfect opportunity to network. As an independent, it’s important to have a network and this is the perfect occasion to maintain and reaffirm my personal contacts."
-
P. Behm, IT adviser to the city of Rotterdam:
"I came because I wanted to know more about Open Standards and about ‘Netherlands Open in Connection’. Unfortunately, I missed Bert Bakker’s seminar because I was late. The show is important for establishing new contacts and maintaining existing ones."
