Here is some of what people had to say about the 2008 Summit:
Bob Webber, CEO, Transenda. "A great perspective on the state of the industry."
Jaime Jofre, Head of Development, Liquidnet. "Most valuable: Sharing ideas and experiences with peers outside my company's sector brings a refreshing dimension to the current issues we face as an industry. A fantastic gathering. I found myself very focused on the discussions and presentations. The proof is that I can't believe it is already Wednesday. It went by very quickly."
John Belbute, Sr. Director, Quality Assurance, WebMD. "The ability to spend real quality time discussing relevant issues with peers is something that only this conference offers. There is great value in the fact that lots of people return year after year. It really helps open up communications in the discussion groups and also fosters post-conference networking. "
Rick Logue, Vice President, Information Technology, ADP. "Both my discussion groups were really good. Just a very good group of people who were very respectful of one another, very smart, insightful, and fun. If you are an IT Senior Manager/Exec, this conference should definitely be on your 'must attend' list. There is no other event that will give you this level of interaction with other IT Execs in a very productive environment."
Mike J. Berry, VP Software Development & Support, Select Portfolio Servicing. "Thank you. Another excellent conference!"
Andrew Lavers, Manager, Architecture/Engineering, INTTRA. "Returning to my second Summit after a few years, the idea and execution are just as fresh and invigorating as in the beginning."
Paul Kearney, Director Platform Engineering, MSNBC.com. "Most valuable: Meeting new people, sharing experiences. Getting out of the weeds to hear how others solve the problems we all struggle with."
Pete Paznokos, Director Software Development & Support, PACCAR. "Overall an excellent Summit. Well worth the time."
Philip Peterson, Director Information Systems, Lifetime Fitness. "The keynote speeches were relevant and informative. The speakers touched on many issues of interest to me. I will share many of their thoughts with my teams when I return to work. Overall the Summit was very beneficial for me. It was interesting to hear different perspectives on problems that we all face. I got some answers to specific questions. I heard many good ideas, along with more questions for later thought."
Daryl Rusch, Sr. Director of Quality Assurance, Front Porch, Inc. "Excellent opportunity to see other in similar positions facing similar issues and talking through options. Great Summit."
Sylvain Prud'Homme, Director IT Operations, Johnson & Johnson. "Really impressed with the quality of the participants. Lectures offered main education while breakouts offered more confirmation. Got to spend time with Steve McConnell, Martin Fowler, Ken Schwaber."
Tom Dalpiaz, Senior Manager, Software Development, Rockwell Automation. "I come to these summits/conferences looking for 1-2 nuggest per day that I can directly apply to my job. I walked out of here with 7-8. I found the Summit to be reflective of the true state of the software industry -- reality based -- with practical suggestions and guidance for advancing capability. And the guidance was at the right level -- not anecdotal, but broad enough to tailor to my situation."
