TESTIMONIALS
" SMB TechFest is simply A “Must Go” Event. As a technology service provider and business owner I strive to participate in technology events to keep myself up-to-date with the trending technologies in IT industry. And I also look for networking events where I can learn from other business owners who are facing and dealing with the same challenges as I do. Dave has successfully created this amazing quarterly event that provides both. I do not want to miss any of SMB TechFest events, because it provides an amazing lineup of speakers and vendors, and an IT Mixer for knowledge sharing and best practices like no other event.

" II count on SMB TechFest to provide me a regional way to keep abreast of new products and educate me on what I need to do. With 20% revenue growth this year, improved profitability and millions in annual recurring revenue, and as CEO I need all the help I can get. I am a strong believer in promoting a strong MSP channel. Having more mature operators helps all our clients and helps with everyone’s bottom line. Weak players weaken the market for all. Mature or perish.
