Accolades

IDGA’s Light Armored Vehicles & Stryker Summit past attendees are raving about the event! Read below why you cannot afford to miss out on this unique experience:

“LAV & Stryker Summit 2007 is my first IDGA event; my marketing manager saw the event online and suggested that I attend. Interesting insights into field work in Iraq. I am here to learn how to make the product work correctly and most efficiently before the military has to improvise in the field.” - Gordon M. Kranz, Current Force FCS-ICS, Program Manager, General Dynamics – C4 Systems

“The content is relevant and timely. I was able to connect with a key person and set up a meeting for tomorrow. This has been well worth the trip.”

“IDGA Team has been top-notch. I had a problem at registration and it was fixed immediately. Other conference companies would have just turned me away.” - Gregory M. d’Arbonne - Manager, Ground Systems Business Development, TEXTRON Defense Systems

“This is my first LAV event, and I have attended IDGA events in the past. I have met a lot of people in the industry. The speakers and information is of very high quality.” - Tommy Morgan, Depot US Army

“… the recent conference in Arlington was very successful for us. We do many conferences and exhibits each year around the year, many very expensive and prestigious, however, the return on our investment in time and money for the shows like this one, proves to us why we have continued to participate. These smaller more intimate venues have resulted in leads with substance and higher future business potential. The one-on-one interactions with potential customers aren't interrupted with the sometimes overwhelming distractions, which often come along with the larger, more glamorous conferences. Kudos to you and others at IDGA involved with the planning, selection of speakers and overall organization of the programs.” - Tim A. Dye, VP Sales and Mattias Nilsson, VP International Sales & Mktg, SEKAI

"A terrific forum for the exchange of ideas, well attended with decision makers in both DoD and industry. Thanks for your support in helping pull this off so quickly, you guys did a great job.” - Mark Sherman, Vice President, BBN Technologies

“This has been an outstanding conference, primarily, due to the quality of presentors and invitees. At one pm on day one, we’ve already had four significant conversations with important PMs. The Westin Arlington Gateway facilities and staff also provided a great value added component.” - Frank Thompson, Northrop Grumman

“IDGA has done it again! They continue to put together first class events that address the critical issues facing defense suppliers. I've been to numerous conferences hosted by various organizations and IDGA always seems to have the best mix of small, medium and large companies along with key players from the acquisition community. The staff expertly facilitates valuable networking opportunities and deftly handles key introductions. Attendance at IDGA events is always a worthwhile investment of time. I look forward to attending these events in the future.” - John Sweeny, CEO, Impact Ceramics, LLC

“I would like to thank you and your staff at IDGA for putting together a very professional LAV/Stryer Summit program. I have been to many similar events in the past, but none had the versatile knowledge base and the in-depth details. I was very impressed with the quality and expertise of your speakers and in addition, the quality of the attendees made this a great networking session. I look forward to attending your future events!” - Sylvia Ehinger - VP Federal Sales, Government Marketing and Procurement - GMP

“IDGA's LAV and Stryker Summit is well worth attendance. In addition to learning vehicle initiatives and system upgrade plans, you have the opportunity to interact with USMC and US Army program management firsthand and network with industry specialists. We look forward to the next IDGA summit.” - Marcia Price, President, Vector Strategy, Inc.

“Very good conference, thanks.” - Business Development Manager, Foster Miller, Inc.

“Information and feedback from -0-4, 0-5, 0-6 officers returning from the battle field is invaluable.” - Ground Combat Vehicles Team Leader
