Testimonials

"We have hosted two tech expos per year for the past many years, one provided by [another federal event company] and one provided by FBC. When the Boulder Labs Executive Board determined that only 1 expo was needed each year, we conducted a survey and it was overwhelmingly clear that FBC’s expo was favored by the staff for both technical content and organization."
