David Sandars, Sales Manager, Interxion:
“From an exhibitor’s point of view, Data Centre World has been very good. The visitors which attended the stand were all very relevant – an exceptionally high quality of delegate

Russell Fitz-Ragan, Business Development Manager, Evolution (ESS) Ltd:
“We had an extremely good show – as the only security vendor at this year’s event we not only had a huge number of visitors attend our stand, but also a great response to our products and were able to gather some hot leads – some very hot indeed! We will most certainly secure new business as a direct result of exhibiting at Data Centre World. In fact, a technical director from one potential customer bet his MD that he would place an order within two weeks for our products – it doesn’t get much better than that.”

Jason Hammond, Regional Manager, ADC Krone:
“Compared to Telecoms07, Data Centre World offered greater footfall, a more continuous flow of visitors throughout the day and a higher level of enquiries from potential customers with specific projects in mind. We were very pleased with the event.”

Jay Chakraborty, CEO, TeleData:
“We have been very impressed with the professionalism of the organisers and the quality of the attendees at Data Centre World. We will definitely be looking to exhibit at this event next year.”

Paul Rivett, Operations Director, CNET Training:
“The show went very well for us. We didn’t experience any of the usual lulls in footfall one can normally expect at trade shows and our stand was consistently busy throughout the two days. As a result, we had at least 100 serious enquiries, and from that actual orders were placed during the event. To come away from a show with a new customer already signed up is more than anyone could expect – needless to say, we have already booked our stand for Data Centre World 2009.”

Nicolas Jago, Managing Director, Latitude:
“The quality of visitors to our stand has been second-to-none, and having our Business Development Director, Eddie Partridge, speak as part of the conference programme drew yet more visitors to our stand and we have received a good number of leads as a result.”

Mike Holmes, Marketing Manager, Nexans:
“The quality of attendees at the event has been exceptionally good for Nexans, with the right level of customer for our target market place, and as a result we have received some very interesting leads. In addition, the themes of the conference sessions were spot-on for this sector and covered some very interesting and topical issues. The fact that the conference was backed by Data Centre Management magazine was a real draw for us to attend the show, and we have gained real benefit from doing so.”

Julian J D Riley, Sales Director, UK & Ireland, Tyco Electronics:
“We have attended a number of data centre events in the past, and it is with an inevitable degree of uncertainty that you attend a new show. With this in mind, I was very pleasantly surprised by what Data Centre World had to offer. Having anticipated a predominantly channel audience, it was great to find ourselves having many very good conversations with end users in the process of specifying data centres, and we would definitely consider attending next year’s show too.”

Peter Brearley, UK Sales Manager, Digi International Ltd:
“Having not attended trade shows for a number of years, Data Centre World has exceeded our expectations. The show’s very targeted audience meant that visitors attending our stand were very focussed and we have been asked to quote for a project as a result.”

Roger Davies, Sales Manager, Sentinel Computer Systems:
“We were pretty impressed with Data Centre World – our power monitoring switches seemed a good fit for the type of people attending the show. The quality of leads was excellent, and we are expecting some good business coming our way as a result. We are very likely to attend again next year.”
