Posted by on Monday Apr 27, 2015 11:35 am

Executives met for 1,257 combined meetings in Nashville, TN on April 20 & 21, 2015 for the Contact Center Summit, Education Facilities Management Summit, Education & Healthcare Security Summit and Healthcare Facilities Management Forum. Pre-scheduled meetings with solution providers took off promptly on Monday morning in the main ballroom of the grand Gaylord Opryland leading into a day-and-a-half of business meetings, seminars and networking activities – including a lively gala dinner and casino night.

Both delegate and vendor attendees have stellar reviews for the Forums (see below):

Delegate Testimonials:

“I found this to be a much better avenue to connect and meet with vendors/providers. You are matched to vendors that are providing services and or products you are looking for. There is absolutely no high pressure sales taking place. It truly is about trying to meet the needs of the end user.” – Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation

“You’ve provided: a relaxed forum to engage myself with knowledgeable vendors, learn more, and find business solutions for both of us…. And the price (free) was perfect!” – Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana

“From the time I became a delegate to the end of the conference, Forum Events made the event seamless. This approach is far more conducive to building long term business relationships than the average conference. I will be sure to attend future events.” – Purchase College

“Overall an excellent concept. My travel from India was worth the time.” – ITCube

“The venue was fantastic and the sessions were very informative and eye-opening.  But most importantly, the format – which was new to me – really jumped out at me and made me realize that it is THE way to go! I know at traditional trade shows it would seem that there are more opportunities for networking as you “control your own schedule” to a degree, but I found it to be just the opposite.  Having the paired appointments made the introductions easy and the networking fell right into place at a more casual pace.” – VP of IT, Payment Alliance

 “Very useful – no pressure sales! Great location, staff super and Forum Events did a superb job of making everything smooth! Very professional staff!” –MUS

“The Summit was great! I think I share the same sentiment as most of the folks I spoke with that this was a great venue to really spend some quality time with vendors and make some new connections within the industry. The event exceeded my expectations. Outstanding job!” – Union First Market Bank

“Very well organized. Felt relaxed, not pressured about events or vendors.” – St. Thomas Hospital Rutherford

“Great networking tool and a great way to get familiar with new offerings on the market.” – Loyola University

 “Great format, very good use of time and well organized. Staff professional, available to help and get answers.” – Brookhaven Memorial Hospital

“Forum Events offers an excellent forum to meet top representatives of building component manufacturers and to learn about innovative products.” – JRA Architects

 “A very professional event for learning and networking.” – Marshal Medical Center

“I had a wonderful time and it was well worth it.  This is my second venue and I will absolutely come back.” – Riverview Estates

Vendor Testimonials:

“I will take advantage of this one-on-one conference going forward. I can have a couple weeks of quality appointments in two days! Nothing in the market gives us more bang for the buck!” – Video Insight
