Why we Sponsor InvestOps Europe Connect
At InvestOps Connect, we spoke to Ben Clay, Senior Sales Executive, and Olivier Halimi, General Manager, from AQMetrics to see why they chose to sponsor for the first time
Why did you choose to sponsor InvestOps Connect?
Ben: We had a very successful experience at the large-scale InvestOps Europe event. We heard about the more intimate format of this event, designed to connect senior leaders with solution providers one-on-one, and we thought it sounded great.
How have you found the quality of delegates?
Olivier: The seniority of the delegates here are great. They’re all C-Level, and they all have an open-minded approach when it comes to discussing with solution providers.
Ben: I recognise many faces from people we’ve been trying to target through various channels over the past few years, so it's great having them here and conversing with them.
How have you found the networking opportunities?
Ben: They’ve been great, we’ve managed to have some good introductory conversations. It’s all about getting that brand recognition and planting the seed. I especially enjoyed having conversations at the networking drinks last night as I was able to pick up conversations this morning, it helped break down barriers and made it very informal and relaxed.
How many 1-1 meetings have you had?
Olivier: We’ve had seven meetings overall.
Ben: We’re currently looking at all of them being good quality leads to follow up on.
Olivier: It’s challenging to connect with this crowd as they’re so busy. We’re talking to the top organisations here, and coming to InvestOps Connect is a great way to stand out from the crowd and avoid the traffic these decision-makers get.
Ben: Without an event like this, it would be very difficult to get face time.
How would you rate the organisations of the event?
Olivier: The event team have been great, suggesting ideas and helping us make sure we’re as prepared as possible.
Ben: I can’t fault the organisation, it’s been great.
