Testimonials

It’s a company policy not to attend events but what convinced me that this was different was the level of senior management confirmed and the fact that we, as the delegation, had direct input into the content of the program. This is a unique format and it worked extremely well. I look forward to working with the NGT Summit team again.

Hendrik Forsgren, CIO, Tele 2

This is the best event I have been to – without exception. I know plenty of people in the telecoms industry but you have put me in touch with executives that would take us months to find. We have a fantastic product and we need to meet as many decision makers as possible, quickly, before the competition gets there. I want to sponsor future events and I want to be in your magazines.

Peter Sobotka, CEO, Corinex

What surprised me was the value that I got from the one on one meetings with vendors. I came to network with my peers but a few new relationships were surprising. I can be pretty tough to reach at the office and that can sometimes work against me.

Georg Benzer, CIO, Arcor, Germany

What stands out from this event was the quality of the speakers chosen to moderate the round tables. I like working with genuine facilitators who can open people up and keep the discussion moving.

Marco Visser, CEO, KPN Mobile, Netherlands

The Summit was well organized and provided an excellent return on investment. We had high level meetings with senior IT executives in our targeted vertical who grasped our solution concepts and were able to see how they would apply through their organizations. The forum provided a relaxed, intimate environment for in-depth, meaningful discussions. We expect to close new business initiated at this event!

David Stuart, Vice President Marketing, Optinuity

As we're in mobile satellite service business of specific market and applications, no particular deals we made out of the summit. It was rather to knowing what are happening in the fast moving terrestrial mobile business and opening contacts and talks with vendors. I indeed felt attending the KL NGT Summit was a right decision and worth taking time.

Batam Shidqon Muhammad, GM Networks, Engineering & Integration, Inmarsat

Very good conference, very dynamic and very good attendance from senior people with real investment projects!

Normand Tremblay, SVP Sales, Thomson, Cirpack, France

This event was quite unique and different than other meetings that I had attended in the past. I have met a lot of people from many different countries. The meetings were conducted professionally. I have also noticed that the member of the organizer made all the efforts to tie up delegates with solution providers so that both of them develop positive business relationship. The one-to-one meetings were also very fruitful and effective.

Ghulam Mohiuddin, Managing Director, Grameen Cybernet Ltd

This was my first time at NGT and was a great experience indeed. The idea of having one2one meeting between service provider and solution provider is really a good one, I observe such meetings give jump start the proceeding by cutting short a lot of un-necessary formalities. There were some good workshops, but I think the interest level (in workshops) could be more improved by adding more case studies. Last but not least, the arrangements of the event were fabulous, time schedules were very well organized, choice of venue was good, management team was cordial and pleasant. As a whole I would give A+ rating to the event and would like to congratulate organizing and management team for their fabulous effort.

Aqeel Khurshid, CTO, Nayatel & Micronet DSL
