The show exceeded our expectations. We had more than 120 people on our stand on the first day alone and our presentations were fully booked. The visitors here actually have projects and are not just on a fact finding mission. We've done some really good work here.
Olivier Maes, Snr Director Cloud Infrastructure EMEA, Citrix
We chose Cloud Expo Europe for our European launch. It's the right show for the cloud and attracts visitors from all over Europe. People have a real interest in what we do and being at the show allows us to answer their queries.
Dusty Korbel, Corporate Relations and Event Manager, Firehost
We do 20-odd shows a year, but it's our first time at Cloud Expo Europe and we've been gobsmacked at the footfall. To have a London show heaving like this is amazing. We've had so many people on the stand that the guys haven't even been able to take a lunch break.
John Wilkins, Marketing Services Manager, Rittal
We do a number of trade shows, but most of them are starting to get slightly stale with less and less footfall. This show has been great. We've been really impressed with the number of sessions and the cross-section of vendors. We've made new contacts and met our existing customers, who are bringing their own customers to the show.
Michael Logan, VP Sales EMEA, NextIO
We've had some great opportunities here that should pay for us being at the show five times over. Visitors have even signed up for cloud on the stand. For people to get their credit card out a trade show is unheard of.
Annelie Kniep, Marketing, Rackspace
We're expanding into Europe and exhibited at Cloud Expo Europe to network. At other shows people come for the free t-shirts, but visitors here have a genuine interest in what we have to say. We've had some great people on our stand, which is exactly what we wanted.
Jacob Sanchez, Marketing GoGrid
We opened our European office two months ago and came to the show to raise brand awareness. It's been fantastic. Everything cloud and cloud related is here and visitors have come from across Europe. The show ticks all of our boxes.
Jonathan Wisler, General Manager EMEA, Softlayer
We are a big player in cloud. Having a presence at Cloud Expo Europe gets us in front of the people we need to see.
Steve Falkus, Product Marketing Director, Savvis
The show has been excellent networking for me. I've made some new contacts and had good conversations with people wanting to buy. It's been very positive.
Rhys Sharp, CTO, SCC
This is a lively show. Having a presence at Cloud Expo Europe helps to build our brand and is a good opportunity to talk to people interested in cloud technology, whether they're new to cloud or want to develop. And that helps build our marketing strategy for the future.
Liz Harding, Marketing Director, Navisite
We really like the show; there's been lots of traffic and good quality people on our stand. There was a full house at my talk, which drew in some of our most qualified leads.
Kevin Brown, CEO, Coraid
The show is great for networking. 75 per cent of the people we've talked are looking to buy. And it's also been great for catching up with people we are already in the sales process with to move that process along.
Jacqui Petrie, Sales Manager, Flexiant
This show is a better target market for us than other shows. The keynotes attract a greater calibre of visitor, there's no blaring music and all the exhibitors are consistent with the theme of the show. A very well managed event.
Paul Goodridge, Country Manager UK & Ireland, Arista
Cloud Europe Expo very much reflects what is happening in cloud. All the people we want to target are here including the key decision makers.
Carol Rashti, Marketing and PR, Cloudreach
We've had some really strong leads from the show. But coming here is not just about generating leads, it's about meeting new customers and potential partners.
Richard Warner, Marketing Manager UK, Interxion
