The Venture Forum 2007 Testimonials

"I have to say the Venture Forum is THE best learning experience I have had in the 7 years running IAdea. I believe this event is especially eye-opening for companies outside of the U.S. Larta helped arrange for invaluable private meetings that provided insight into how business is expected to operate in the U.S. We would not have the opportunity to access the knowledgeable VC community here without Larta's help." John C. Wang, IAdea Corporation
 
"Excellent meeting and the LARTA staff were very accommodating.  I did enjoy the meeting very much, made useful contacts and look forward to continuing my participation in future programs.  I have either already had or plan follow-up with a number of companies attending the forum." Don Madren, Pfizer, Inc.

"The panels were the best ever and the companies keep getting better each year. The topics were well selected and appropriate. The Forum was one of the best I have ever attended." Jerry E. Knotts, J.E. Knotts & Associates

"I really enjoyed the structure and content of this year's Venture Forum.  This event must continue." Ron Schoengold, E Gold Solutions
