I want to congratulate The Israel Conference on putting together a terrific and very successful event. I established many contacts and in fact I am already working with one other attendee to help him launch his company, protect his IP and secure financing (and yes, come on as a client of the law firm). I even made friends socially - just last Sunday my wife and I actually went to a BBQ at the park with a number of Israelis I met at the event! Congratulations again!

They enjoyed the flexibility of moving seamlessly between panel discussions and outside networking.

The Israel Conference brought together hundreds of business executives from California and Israel.

All the people that were involved in making this conference such a huge success should be very proud. The Israel Conference was very impressive in both the quantity of attendees and more importantly the quality of the people and the discussions that were held. This is a great achievement especially since this is the first time for this conference. The conference highlighted very clearly the high potential of both Israel & South California and the synergy among these 2 continents. Looking forward to the next "The Israel Conference"!

Thank you for inviting Syneron to participate in this conference - it was so well run and so very effective. And thanks for your kind words. Kudos to you and your staff for pulling this off, I’m sure it bodes well for future conferences, which I expect will be as successful as this one was in putting people together to strengthen the Israel - California brain trust and make things happen scientifically and commercially.
For Syneron, as a leading Israeli medical device company in the growing market segment of aesthetic medicine, the Israel Conference provided us with some business opportunities that we are currently exploring. We would definitely welcome the opportunity to participate again next year.
