In the survey, attendees commented on the �fun, energetic atmosphere� at TEAMS, which left attendees �super impressed with the attendance and overall quality of the conference.� One attendee raved that TEAMS was the best event he�d attended from the standpoint of return on investment in the last five years. Others used phrases like �top-shelf,� �exceeded expectations,� �fabulous,� �excellent,� �fantastic� and �flawlessly executed� to describe their TEAMS experiences.

�For a larger conference, TEAMS still has an intimate feeling and plenty of opportunities to network,� said Kyle Weiser of Visit Salina. �TEAMS was a great opportunity for our business to talk directly to organizations that fit squarely in our target market,� said Scott Stream of Image Inflators.

�I can honestly say we were able to get more done in three days than we ever thought possible,� commented event organizer Casey Taker of Open Water Planet. �You guys rock,� said Julie Bolfa of Destination Toledo. �I love TEAMS!� Sean Wolters, organizer of the Savage Race series, echoed Bolfa�s sentiments. �If I could attend only one conference each year,� said Wolters, �it would be TEAMS.�

�We are delighted that our attendees had such a tremendous and valuable experience in Atlantic City,� said Timothy Schneider, president and CEO of Schneider Publishing, which publishes SportsTravel and organizes the TEAMS Conference & Expo. �The fact that TEAMS �16 scored more than 98%, not only in its overall rating but also in the specific areas of conference organization and conference affordability, reaffirms TEAMS� leadership position in the sports-event industry.�

�We thank our destination partners at the Atlantic City Sports Commission and Meet AC, as well as our attendees, exhibitors and sponsors for helping us produce such a successful conference,� continued Schneider. �We are honored that so many leading organizations in the sports-event industry choose to align their brands with SportsTravel and TEAMS, and encourage those who are not currently doing so to consider our time-tested brands as platforms for their sports-marketing efforts,� concluded Schneider.
