Thanks for your hospitality, generous assistance, and steadfast promotion of Lockheed throughout the event. I made some very helpful contacts, and I hope it serves as a springboard for opportunities for us in Europe. You had a full house of 166, and they were the right kinds of people to influence as we enter a new market space" - Lockheed Martin, commenting on the recent European Smart Grid Cyber Security Forum
"Just wanted to express a thank you for the very well organised conference and an assurance that we will be back once we have implemented some of the good advise from some of the peers around Europe. It resulted in some good networking opportunities and especially one that we identified had similar challenges and ethos to solve these that we will pursue further. " Major UK Utility
