"AeA proved to be an outstanding venue for us to deliver our company story and financials to analysts and fund managers from high-quality, serious investment companies. The conference ended a month ago, and we're still scheduling briefings and management introductions with investors we met at the show. This event has provided a solid return on investment of our marketing dollars."
Megan O'Reilly-Lewis, Director Investor Relations

"The AeA Classic provides a unique forum for small-cap technology companies like Moldflow to get out in front of and meet many buy-side investors that we might not otherwise have the opportunity to visit in person. The multiple company presentations format used by AeA Allows the buy-sides to optimize their time without sacrificing the chance to meet all of the companies they are interested in. Having now presented at the conference twice, and seeing the resultant positive impact on our stock price, we plan to be back next year.
Suzanne MacCormack, CFO
Moldflow

"The AeA Financial Conference was the best use of my tight IR budget this year. We had a chance to introduce new investors to our story and the pace was not as hectic as in years past. AeA Financial Conference is back in vogue!"
Sandy O'Halloran, Vice President Investor Relations
Legato Systems

"The AeA Classic has become one of our key opportunities for discussions with the financial community. The company presentations, one-on-ones we schedule around sessions and social events all lead to a higher level of conversation with the Investment Community. The quality of attendees as proven decision-makers is excellent."
Brenda Ropoulos, Director Corporate Relations
Network Equipment Technologies

"The AeA is one of the premier ways to meet/greet prospects, visit with clients and learn about new companies and technologies. In short, it pays for itself many times over."
Edward Lambert, Sr. Vice President
Comerica Bank

"The AeA format is terrific for portfolio managers. It provides you the opportunity in a very small setting to sit and question the management of the companies that you're interested in. I'm sure that for some of the management, it is a difficult and maybe even an unrewarding experience at least initially. If I'm expected to buy $5 to $10 million positions, I need to have the access and quality time that the AeA provides. Company management many not think they are getting "big" crowds to warrant their participation -- but I think the quality of the buyers -- i.e. the ones that will "pull the trigger" and buy large investment positions are worth the "grind" of the AeA format. At the big brokerage conferences, you have large crowds and less real buyers. Companies that want investors and not "crowds" should attend."
Ken McCain, Portfolio Manager
Wall Street Associates

"This is one of my favorite conferences, in part because of the blending of formal and informal opportunities to meet with company management and industry colleagues."
