Your Colleagues Are Saying...
“The forum brings a range of IP-savvy companies together for real dialogue and potential future business relationships. I enjoyed not only the presentations but the many hallway discussions—this was an excellent networking event.”
—William R. LaFontaine, Vice President, Business Development, IBM Corporation
“I participated in yet2.com’s conference for the first time in 2006. I was astonished by the wide variety and high quality of the human network that yet2.com has created. With the help of yet2.com, I successfully developed a valuable network with other participants, which helped me to enhance global viewpoints for problem solving. As a result, this provided me with appropriate solutions to some critical issues in several specific on-going projects. I truly appreciate the assistance of yet2.com’s professional staff.”
—Keiji Ushijima, Executive Expert, Intellectual Asset Business Development and Licensing Division, NEC Corporation
“I appreciate the opportunity to have discussed the technology with the ‘movers & shakers’ that offer the potential for commercialization. By far, the Conference has provided the finest opportunity I have had to get my message across to those who can make a difference.”
—Arnold Kelly, President, ZYW Corporation
“The 2006 conference was my first yet2.com meeting. I was positively surprised by the mind set of the attending people. They all seemed to be there to share and to try and find connections. The quality of the interactions was high and I left the conference with more than a handful of useful business leads.”
—Rob Van Leen, Chief Innovation Officer, DSM
