“An outstanding conference that is now on our company’s list as a “must attend” event for exhibiting. Our product exhibit at this year’s conference was overrun with prospective customers. The venue provided great access to extremely knowledgeable decision makers working with nanoscale materials at top companies and leading research centers. Conference organizers worked closely with us and were very responsive to the needs of exhibitors. Breaks, receptions and cocktail events were timed well and done in a first class manner to create a relaxed and great atmosphere for networking."

--Jim Rynne, VP, Business Development & Marketing

“Nanocomp Technologies was very pleased with the NNEC. The interest in our carbon nanotube yarns and sheets at our booth was tremendous, providing us with valuable introductions to many new industry and government contacts for future business opportunities. We fully intend to participate next year with the expectation that we will achieve even better results. NNEC 2007 was a superbly executed event!”
