The June 2005 e-Quantum Lake Tahoe Client Conference broke all records. Two hundred and thirty-eight persons, including e-Quantum staff and vendors/speakers, attended the 3-day event at the beautiful Harrah’s Tahoe Resort. Attendees could select from 24 hi-tech and educational sessions in two tracks, in addition to optional recreational activities including golf at the Edgewood Celebrity Tournament course, a tour of the Gold Rush Days to historic Virginia City and a dinner cruise to Emerald Bay aboard the M.S. Dixie stern wheeler. Below is a sampling of client reactions to the conference.

“The client conference was the best we have attended. We have actually begun to change our operating model based on some of the talks from the meeting.”
Jim Feldman, Formost Graphic Communications, Rockwell, MD
