The People have Spoken and NETcomm Prairies 2009 a Success PDF Print E-mail
April 28, 2009

The dust has settled, and it can be said the NETcomm PRAIRIES 2009 Show in Saskatoon, Sask., last week (April 21-22) built upon the solid foundation laid by the inaugural event in Halifax to be a resounding success for both delegates and exhibitors.

“It was worth the two-and-a-half hours [to get here],” said Wayne Reesor of Linktel Communications, which installs and maintains telephone systems, network cabling and fiber optics for both commercial and residential clients. He came from Lloydminster, Alta., to attend the event in Canada’s Breadbasket. “Will I attend next year? 100%. I will, yes!”

The event comprised two days of educational sessions, along with an exhibitor showcase and hands-on workshops. The hands-on “Fusion Splicing” workshop from Day 1 proved so popular that it was repeated on Day 2 to accommodate interested delegates. Among the most popular Education Track seminars were “High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)”, FTTP and FTTx, and Security.

The show proved great for exhibitors, too. Garry Burrows, Telonix’s sales contact for The Prairies, Territories and British Columbia, said it normally takes him several days to make his calls when in the Saskatoon area but, with NETcomm, he was able to see everyone during the show, “plus some that I might have missed!”. He explained he also got to know some companies he didn’t know before.

“This is a show that, in the future, I want to participate in,” added Burrows.

A special thanks goes out to NETcomm’s sponsors, without whom the Show could not have been possible: CLICK HERE to visit them.
