“On behalf of my team, I want to thank you all for a well planned Investigators Meeting. Mary Ellen and I were very pleased with the results and both feel Summit Management did a great job. Deverene was great accomodating my requests under somewhat difficult constraints with the ATS congress and Tulane’s graduation the same weekend. The little things in life for me count more than words can express like Carol tapping on the shoulder during the reception to advice me one of our key KOLs had arrived and was right behind me (this was the first time I was meeting him and would not have recognized him). Thank you Carol for always keeping me informed of who was missing and or on the way to the meeting. I also want to thank both Zki and Max for their patience with the speakers especially those who came to Zki last minute with updated presentations right before starting the meeting. It takes patience to do what Zki does but more importantly experience. Thank you Zki for all your attention to details and the wonderful music and memorable pictures. Joe: You have a great team!”
“Joe and his company provided excellent services to my department. He organized and managed hundreds of meetings, both in the US and in the international arena. My staff fully relied on Joe’s staff to handle all aspects of the meeting, allowing them to concentrate their efforts on the agenda issues of the meeting. Whenever problems were brought to Joe and/or his staff, they took action and promptly resolved them. They allowed my department to run cost-effective meetings. They delivered high value services.”
