Huge shout out to S&D!  Thank you All!

—Patrick Muse
Sr. Director, Client Engagement

Firstly, I just want to say a massive thank you to an amazing team for putting together what has been an incredible couple of days.  The team has done an incredible job.

A big thank you to the team at S&D who’ve done an awesome job at orchestrating and producing all of this!

—Chris McGhee
Chief Executive Officer

Brenda, if there was such a thing as “perfection” for managing Pinnacle, you just hit it.  I can’t thank you enough for your passion and attention to every detail.  As you know, I notice and appreciate every detail (or most of them).

You are the best!  I am so grateful for you and also that we still work together after all these years.  Thank you!

—Rich Fabian
President & CEO

I cannot thank you enough for making our Customer Summit such a success. We got endless compliments on how well run and professional it felt and it’s really all thanks to you and your expertise. It was a pleasure to work with you, thank you for making it all so easy! Please share my gratitude with the rest of your team and I look forward to working with you again!

—Lauren Levinsky
Vice President, Marketing

I feel that “Thank You” doesn’t quite capture my gratitude for all that you and your team did to make this such an incredible event.  You set the bar for excellence – and it makes such a difference for us all.

—Rich Fabian
President & CEO

Just want to thank you for an incredible Sonosite Launch event. It was flawless thanks in large part to your planning and organization. Your work made it extremely enjoyable. I appreciate you!

—Jaime Faicco
Director of Sales

Brenda, thank you for the extraordinary effort to make the BMC Summit a success. You were accommodating, professional, and pleasant to all levels of staff and service people, from CEO’s to parking attendants, and your attention to the myriad of details surrounding this unique meeting was amazing. Every single attendee wanted me to express their thanks to you for everything you did last week. We could not have done it without you, so thank you for being such an important part of our process!

—Brent Shafer
Chief Executive Officer

Just Wow! By far, this was the most organized and well put together private events that I’ve been involved with since joining EWF. Everything from ground, hotel, logistics, timing and most of all, communication exceeded our expectations. The guys really enjoyed the event and commented in the car this morning on the way to the airport what a great time they had. Hope we do more events with you (and soon), because this was a dream! Again, thank you everyone!

—David Norman
Tour Manager / Tour Accountant

Patient Care & Monitoring Solutions

You guys are always amazing. We are very fortunate to have you and all the familiar faces of the S&D team be part of the extended Philips family. You should really consider authoring a book called ‘The S&D Way’ – you seem to have created quite a culture on your team – and I love that about S&D! Please know we don’t take anything for granted, especially your team.

—Thom Smith
Senior Market Manager

Renal Pharmaceuticals

The packaging and presentation of the gifts was fantastic! Especially loved the Fresenius blue tissue wrapping paper!! Thank you so much for going the extra mile!

—Donna St. Pierre
VP, Sales

S&D means more to me with each passing year. Having now personally collaborated on a sustained series of seven Mega Meetings and three Pinnacle trips in three separate countries, I consider them far more than our lead outside vendor—they are truly partners in our success.

—David Parry
Director, Communication & Events

Your extensive leadership and attention to detail were clearly the main qualities that carried this event to its fullest potential. It was truly a pleasure working with one of the best of the best.

—Jerry Simmons
General Manager

Thank you S&D team – the years of experience with this program and the professionalism of your team made everything onsite so easy. At times it seemed too easy! It’s such a great partnership. The onsite experience this week was excellent and there was very positive feedback from customers. It was truly a team effort and well done “Customer First” event!

—Kristen Cusolito
Director, Marketing Communications and Strategic Programs

Thank You once again to my wonderful extended team. You guys are awesome! Every year you make it look easier, and make going through the stress actually fun!  I love working with you all.  I don’t know how you do it, but you find rooms where there aren’t any, you make unhappy people, happy again.  Then add on top of that the meetings, customer events and VIP needs and you still manage to smile and do it all with professionalism and completeness. You are all truly wonderful. You take the hardest part of this show and make it look easy. You always come through for me, I never have to second guess or worry when its under your care.  So, thank you once again for being truly fabulous!

—Laura Costello
Senior Director

This trip has been an amazing success thanks to the both of you. The attention to detail and service is unparalleled. Thank you for making this a trip one we will never forget with all your hard work behind the scenes.

—Melissa Luiso
Director, Business Operations

We appreciate the attention to detail in making Hawaii both a great event and memory for our team.

—Craig & Joni Reese

I love that you think of things I need before I even know I need them… that you care about the budget and are always mindful of costs… that you are all so organized and, in fact, organize each others’ organization… that you are consummate professionals… that you treat everyone, from conference attendees to hotel staff, in the same warm way… that you can be onsite for 3+ weeks and are still ready, willing and able to give it your best… that I arrive onsite, expecting to spend hours going through boxes, only to find everything unpacked and labeled… that you are like elves in Santa’s workshop – I go to bed and the next morning everything is packed and ready to go. Thanks for everything, you are the best!

—Cindy Morton
Indirect Channel Manager

We had a very successful Capital Markets Day, with good attendance and a very smooth execution. Thank you for the hard work to ensure a very professional and swift registration and hotel booking process. Also a big thank you for your quick actions to help us solve last-minute changes, and to ensure there were no penalties to be paid with the hotel. A job well done!

—Roos van den Langenberg

—Greg Adamson

Thank you for all of your service and dedication on this week’s Mega.  What an awesome team you are and you SOMEHOW make it all turn out so great.  I am always so impressed with how cool you remain in such crazy situations AND how you are so committed to making us happy (even when that can seem like the most difficult of tasks.)  You ALWAYS make my life better in all of these situations and I always look forward to seeing your smiling faces. It was a tough week, but EACH OF YOU helped get me (and my team) through it…both PERSONALLY and PROFESSIONALLY.

A big thank you and congratulations for producing another high caliber Connect2Care User Summit! There were certainly a number of challenges this year, yet your team remained committed to partnering for success. The early feedback I’ve received is that this was the best Connect2Care User Summit yet and that was due in large part to the flawless execution onsite. It continues to be my pleasure to work with you and your team on the production of this high value customer program.

—Mary Parsons
