Dear Industry Colleague,
The 2nd Annual CPV Summit US is the place where new and existing CPV projects “come to life” and the products and services driving those projects get seen and sold.
In no other environment do so many CPV decision makers all come together under one roof to discuss the latest challenges in the industry. With this environment of over 300 delegates we’ve got the perfect venue for you to show why your product or service is best in the industry.
Looking for visibility or thought leadership?
We can put you in front of this entire audience or even an invited key few to help facilitate your CPV objectives moving forward.
• MeetTopLevelDelegates – The CPV Summit US will substantially grow this year, and is now THE meeting place for buyers and sellers from the entire CPV supply chain. No other event will provide you with as many business development opportunities
• IntroduceNewProductsintotheCPVMarket– The CPV Summit 2010 is the only event that specifically zones in on very latest technologies that are making headlines in the industry
• BuildNewRelationships- At the CPV Summit 2010 you will finally meet the hard to find ‘senior level’ business executive. This will allow you to benefit from valuable customer feedback on your products and services that can help speed up the sales process for your company.
This summit is the perfect chance for you to launch that new product or service, meet potential new customers, and strengthen existing customer relationships.
