In Their Own Words
Feedback from the first Philly Finance Expo…
“I’ve been to dozens of events of this kind but this was the
best.It had the most appropriate
audience, a good turnout, and a good match between candidates and lenders.”
Claire-Amy Heinhold,
Business Development Representative, Riviera Finance
We’re working with a
bank that we met at the Expo! It was good to have all these different
types of lenders there and to have the opportunity to see them side by side. We were able to gauge their
personalities and compare how they approached their business relationships… it
was both interesting and informative.
Marc Coleman, President, Tactile Design Group
I agree that the event was very successful because in
general you got a more sophisticated attendee who was already in business, knew
what t hey were looking for, and asked informed questions.I look forward to your next event!
