Your competitors (and peers) gave us very positive feedback from last year's event. We have listed to feedback from prime contractors (Raytheon), System Integrators (QinetiQ North America) and manufacturers (Glenair and Vectronix) to ensure more networking and more lead generation. 40% of these sponsors rebooked on-site in 2011 for the 2012 show!
