How Attendees Raved About IRCE 2008
If you want to hear about the valuable you'll get from attending IRCE 2009, ask the people who attended last year's event in Chicago. Or the year before that in San Jose. Or the year before that back in Chicago. The fact is that following every event since the first show was held in 2005, the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition has drawn rave reviews from attendees.
We did not solicit the favorable reviews on last year's show that are posted below. They are representative of the many written and spoken comments that attendees at IRCE 2008 volunteered about their conference experience. These comments are emblematic of the positive ratings that IRCE gets every year from the hundreds of attendees who complete a detailed (five minute) web survey taken immediately after the completion of each show. Other conferences rarely provide this detail about attendee responses to their surveys. We have good reason to share them; they are the best endorsement we have to encourage you to attend IRCE 2009 in Boston on June 15-18.

 Long before Tradeshow Week ranked IRCE as America's fastest growing conference and exhibition, IRCE attendees were giving the show high marks for meeting and exceeding their expectations for session content, quality of exhibits and overall show management. At the conclusion of each IRCE event, all attendees are asked to complete a five-minute web-based survey rating every aspect of the show. About one-quarter of all attendees complete this survey. Below are the average ratings that conference attendees have given to IRCE for the last three years, the same period during which the show garnered its #1 growth rating from TSW. More than anything else, these high ratings from attendees explain why IRCE is the fastest growing of America's 13,000 trade shows.     |
