Attendee Comments
2011 – Newport, Rhode Island
- 100% of conference attendees who responded to a survey conducted by a third party indicated the conference was “highly valuable to attend” and 96% indicated they plan on attending the 2012 conference.
- This was my first SSA conference and it was one of the best conferences I have ever been to. The sessions were very informative, and the extra events were really fantastic. And there were so many great people to network with. All in all, a very good use of time and I plan to attend again next year.
- Panels, presentations and topics were all top notch. It was maybe the best conference I've been to in 31 years!
- There were many opportunities to meet and interact with the speakers and fellow members. I came away with many new friends and acquaintances that will be a source of support and knowledge in my day to day business.
- As an individual fairly new to the industry, the conference was very informative.
- From a vendor's perspective, this conference provides the best networking opportunities over all that I have attended to date. I think the SSA does a fantastic job providing valuable information to its members while catering to the needs of its sponsors. We look forward to continuing our support of the SSA for years to come.

2009 – Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
- This conference is far and away the best one I attend each year.
- This is one of the best conferences for networking.
- The size of the conference makes the amount of networking possible unique to the SSA conference. This is invaluable to issuers and vendors.
- As a first timer, the welcome went very smoothly. Thanks to all those who made it comfortable for the first timers.
- Once again this was a very informative conference. I always learn so much.
- Excellent topics and excellent speakers!
- Excellent format! The topics and content were right on and the right amount of time spent on each! Very well done!
2008 – Williamsburg, Virginia
- Attendance is a must for the shareholder professional.
- This conference was exceptional! The educational sessions and networking opportunities were great. With just a little more than one year of experience in shareowner services and having taken the SSA’s Introduction to Shareholder Services on-line course, I feel my orientation is complete. What a great group to be associated with and to learn from. Thank you.
- This conference was amazing! I learned more than I expected and met some of the most genuine and nice folks I’ve ever met at this type of function.
- A great job! This was much better, and many more networking opportunities, than at other conferences I attend.
- I thought the SSA picked relevant topics and good speakers overall.
- SSA is the most unique group in that it breaks down barriers of titles and companies and lets people talk about the industry freely. It is a great format.
