The Fused Group had an excellent show and we are looking forward to closing a good amount of business as a result. As ever, a very well organised and well attended show. It has established itself as an integral part of our marketing strategy.

Ruth Davey, Marketing Manager, Fused Group

 

An excellent well organised event. A great opportunity to show in the North, and the channel certainly appreciates being able to network with the many vendors without having to travel South to do so!

Sara Hellon, Channel Marketing Manager EMEA, Mitel Networks

 

Fantastic show! The Convergence Summits have definitely established themselves as the trade shows of the channel year. As last years shows proved such a successful launch pad for our TIM Enterprise product, we chose this years Manchester show to release our fully-integrated TIM Talk recording module and are delighted to say that we could not have chosen a better event. There was a definite buzz for the whole two days and we were delighted with the response to our products. We have signed up again for next year.

Kay Tobin, Director, Tri-Line

 

We found the event very productive in terms of meeting potential Channel Partners and suppliers. We signed up business from new Channel Partners we met at the event.

Colin Mann, Marketing Manager, Uniworld Communications

 

Convergence Summit North was a great opportunity for Griffin to meet existing partners and prospects and we had companies that came from as far away as Inverness specifically to see us. The contents of Griffin’s ‘ISP in a box’ have grown with the inclusion of our easy-to-build white label MPLS networks and from the interest we have generated at the show we expect to sign up a number of new partners.

A focused Event where People had a reason to attend , messaging was clear , communication was excellent , it felt like value for money …

Paul Ballinger, Business Development, Club Communications

 

Last year was a success. This year there were even more people coming along and we’re very encouraged with the people we’ve met with and sort of questions they’re asking us. It clearly shows that the organisers have bought the right audience along.

Darren Farnden, Marketing Manager, Entanet International Ltd


It’s been very good. We were here last year for the first time and exhibit at the Summit South. We are committed to continuing to do so. Certainly as a northerner I am pleased to be up here. It holds the right mix of clients and exhibitors to be a worthwhile event.

Scott Dobson, Managing Director, VCOMM

 

This industry seems to be very, very strong and the show has been good. I have been very pleased by the quality and quantity of visitors. We will definitely be back next year!

James Emm, OAK

 

This is the first time we have been to the northen event. We have been at the Summit South since it started which is a very successful event. We came and had a look at the Summit North last year and decided to take a stand this year. We have seen northern based resellers who would not come to a southern based event.

Lance Spencer, Tiscali Business Services

 

I would say it’s one of my favourite exhibitions; for its location and it’s so easy for exhibitors here - everything is done for you! The visitors we’ve has have been fantastic.

Cherie Everett, Marketing Manager, Griffin Internet

 

It’s been good. We’ve met some interesting people outside the resellers who we would never otherwise have met!

Larry Austin, Internet Central

 

This is our first time at the Convergence Summit North. What you find with shows like these; as the ICT market grows there will be increased demand for a one stop shop and I can envisage this show emerging to the NEC before long as a UK or even a European event.

Robert Conway, VCOMM

 
 

Visitor Testimonials

 

“Having travelled 370 miles south to attend this event I was glad that I made the effort. During the space of 2 days I met with a good number of existing suppliers and a few potential new ones, attended 4 informative (and sometimes thought-provoking) seminars, and managed to get some valuable networking done including a bit of very enjoyable socialising on the Tuesday night. Will I attend next year's event? The answer has to be yes, because there's no other way I can get as much productive work done with so many different people in such a short space of time.

David Alldritt, IPT Product Manager, HIGHnet

 

Thank you for putting on an excellent event this year which unusually for the North had a sizeable turn-out with many high quality exhibitors, seminars and side shows. I particularly valued the panel event on the second day which served to reinforce our businesses change in direction and left everyone enthused and chatting about the many opportunities opening up for Xrio. We made some great contacts and demand was high for our products, I just wish I had chance to try the driving simulator which, despite the reps best efforts, I missed.

Mark Rushworth, Director, Xrio Limited

 

As a manager of a business development company that generates new business for telecom providers, I found the summit a useful and informative insight into the industry. It allowed me to see the latest developments within key areas of the industry and I was also made aware of products & services that could help to benefit the company I work for.

Darryl Jones, Manager, Stratospheric UK

 

You’ve got all your main players here. There is a lot of people who are introducing some of the new technologies today. It is very busy which is good to see and some old faces!

Stuart Pollard, Link Telecom

 

Firstly, congratulations on an excellent event, I enjoyed myself (well I always do at such events ..!) and had some excellent meetings during the two days. Certainly the feedback I had from participants was all very positive.

Many congratulations on what was another successful show in Manchester. We received 100% positive feedback on the event from those we interviewed during the two days. I made a point of asking for a reaction to the move to a bigger venue next year and all said the move is needed as the event has outgrown the Hilton.

Nick Gibson, Editor, Channel News

 

I think it’s been a long time coming. I think that the resellers in the North feel the poor brother to the other resellers in the South because of the manufacturers and distributors right on their doorstep. We used to feel excatly the same but if you look around there are major, major contracts going on in the North.

Chris Illingworth, Telecoms Consultant

 

I very much enjoyed the show. The seminars were informative and very interesting.

David Parslow, CPW Networks

 

Very good show – great for networking.

Jim Wier – Nimans

 

Very good show – really enjoyed it!
