2010 Testimonials

« MIM was a worthwhile event for me. I learned about technology suppliers of interest to me and their specific capabilities. Seeing sample applications at exhibitor booths complements reading brochures and visiting websites. Networking was great: both for renewing contacts and meeting new ones. » 

 — Andreas Hug,  Andreas Hug Consulting, Management Consultant to Entrepreneurs

« Just a note to commend you on this event. Frank Baylis of Baylis Medical delivered one of the best keynote addresses I've heard in a long time. He spoke from experience and from the heart, and gave very wise and practical advice to the participants. Thanks for putting this trade show together. Sorry I couldn't attend the networking reception as intended (something came up), I'm sure the participants made good contacts and enjoyed themselves. »

— Geneviève Lavertu, Director of Legal Services and Business Development 

« It was a pleasure meeting you today at the Manufacturing Innovations Trade Show. Thank you for setting up such a great event. RIC Centre is actively trying to connect to the manufacturing community to develop a  network for helping innovators in this industry. I was hoping we could stay in touch to discuss future possible collaboration opportunities that may present themselves. »

« I am getting many offers from all over the world.I prefer to work with Brian and Proven Process and manufacturers in N.A.. . . . the trade show was a home run."

« Just wanted to say thank you for hosting and organizing a fantastic event this week. The Manufacturing Innovations Medical event provided an excellent opportunity for our office to engage numerous suppliers from the medical and dental manufacturing industry and inform them about the Canadian Innovation Commercialization Program (CICP), as well as on the opportunity to do business with the Government of Canada. The seminar session we were able to deliver was equally productive.

“Graphicast has generated several very good leads from the show that were very focused in the medical device industry.’

— Kirk Barrett, GRAPHICAST

“Being approached by SME to be a participant in this event, I was very reluctant to attend. Having done the big Chicago and New York MD& M shows and generating very few leads, I now compare MI-Medical to these shows and I had 7 times as many leads as I had in the other 2 shows combined. Our objectives were met with attaining the number of bonafide leads and immediate e-files being sent to our office. How else can you validate success other than through numbers? The numbers we achieved attest to a success. I look forward to next year at the 2^nd annual MIMC. Congratulations to the staff and organizing committees through these difficult times on this very successful event!”
