“We were really happy with the number of attendees who joined us for another great show in Orlando,” said Bob Arnold, DRJ president. “I want to thank all of our attendees, speakers, and sponsors who made this conference such an oustanding event.”

“Our face-to-face shows are really important to attendees,” said Arnold. “Aside from all of the sessions and exhibit hall, the networking opportunities are invaluable.”

Mike Volpentest, of Charles Schwab, won the $500 attendance prize drawing while Drew Hufford, of MedStatix, and Terrie Barbarossa, of Aviation Authority, each won $250. All three attendees also won a free pass to a future DRJ conference.
