Testimonials

“RTSS provides a deep dive into relevant vendors and companies in my industry in a way not possible at trade shows. I learned things that would not have been possible in a standard trade show format. Even with fewer vendors than a large show, RTSS provides more meaningful contacts, vendors and information that possible there.” – Dan Cascioppo, CEO, Beach Computer Works DBA PCIT POS

“First time and all other conferences will be compared to RTSS moving forward.” – Stephanie Buckley, Risk & Compliance Manager and Vendor Escalation Lead, BOLD Integrated Payments 

“It was truly the most organized and productive show I have attended—possibly ever.  The timing worked out well for my current business plans, and your show allowed me to meet numerous vendors. I have already spoken with them and viewed more extensive demos of their products. I will be doing business with some of them in a very short period of time, and with others in the future.  I also plan on referring several exhibitors that I feel should be presenting at the next show. I hope to see you and the rest of your team at the next conference.” – Paul Goldstein, President/ CEO, Pal Payment Technologies Inc

“Going into RTSS, I was honestly hesitant about what to expect. Being so new to the industry, I worried I wouldn’t quite fit in among people with years of experience and knowledge. That feeling disappeared quickly. Instead of feeling like the newcomer in the room, I found myself surrounded by people who were eager to educate, encourage, and guide me. I walked in unsure of where I belonged and walked away with new ideas, new technology, new friendships, and a network of industry veterans I now feel fortunate to know. More than anything, I walked away feeling welcomed, inspired, and with a renewed sense of purpose. RTSS gave me far more than I expected. I’m incredibly grateful I took the chance and showed up. Thank you for the opportunity.” – Sammie Gibson, CEO, In the Saddle Innovations LLC DBA ITS Innovations

“RTSS was a great opportunity to speak directly to potential partners for me in the market — this is a huge time saver and great opportunity for our platform growth” – David Hopkins, President, Navi Controls 

“It was great to hear from other VARs that are currently using some of the vendors that were presenting which helps boost their value of being there.”  – Doug Williams, VP of Operations, Breakthrough Business Advisors

“With the help of RTSS, we are creating new opportunities for our team by deploying software, services, and products we discovered at the conference that we would never have considered from another format. We have gained valuable networking from RTSS, from meeting with other resellers to meeting with top-level personnel from the myriad of services and products that were demoed to us. Most conferences get us fired up, but RTSS brought us a unique experience I was not expecting.”  – Shane Gibson, Managing Member, In the Saddle Innovations LLC, DBA ITS Innovations

“RTSS was a great opportunity to connect with resellers and technology partners, exchange industry insights, and explore potential collaborations. The Summit provided valuable networking opportunities and a deeper understanding of the evolving retail technology landscape. We look forward to building on these conversations and strengthening our partnerships within the ecosystem.” – Nikunj Kewalramani, Marketing Head, Restroworks

“This meeting is a great way to network with old and new friends. The directed sales approach with back to back to back presentations is a great idea. I look forward to meeting up again next year.”  – Jeff Sanders, President, Southwest POS 

“The entire event is really unique for our professional group. You have enough time to educate, evaluate products and technology and learn in a jam packed 2 days event.”  – Paul Leduc, CEO, Globe POS Systems

“Great event from start to finish! The structured boardroom sessions delivered great insights, the ballroom sessions were memorable, and the peer networking provided incredible value.”  – Kirsten Ingersoll, General Manager Electronic Office 

“The Conference was well run and on target for me and most of the folks I spoke with.” – Peter Biondi, Business Development, POS Supply Solutions

“I really enjoyed the intimate, friendly atmosphere at RTSS. It gave us a chance to build relationships with our peers and vendors that we can carry forward, and I came away from the sessions and keynotes with useful ideas to bring back to our business.”  –Stephen Sadler, Director of Implementation and Support, Data Cash Register (DCR)

“This was our first RTSS show. We did not know how our product and service would be received. I believe we got great exposure to the VAR’s! We came away with over 40 contacts from the 5 boardrooms we participated in. We are looking forward to seeing how many of these contacts we can convert to ongoing relationships over the coming weeks and months!” – Charlie, Deibel, VP Regional Director, Sculpture Hospitality

“I’m new to the industry, but my business partner suggested I attend. I’m glad I did, everyone was great and the content was very helpful. Loved the boardroom experience to learn about the vendors and also learn from my VAR peers!” – Amanda Luzsicza, Founder, FemtekIT 

“The perspectives from all the different types are partners was extremely valuable as I learn about the retail and restaurant verticals” – Joey Alagna, Business Development Representative, BOLD Integrated Payments 

“Attending the Retail Technology Solutions Summit was an extremely valuable experience. The opportunity to connect directly with industry-leading technology providers, explore innovative solutions, and build meaningful business relationships made this event stand out from traditional trade shows. The smaller, more personal boardroom setting allowed for productive conversations and a better understanding of emerging technologies and opportunities within the POS industry. As a business owner, I left the Summit with valuable insights, new connections, and ideas to help grow our company and better serve our customers. I highly recommend RTSS to anyone looking to expand their knowledge, partnerships, and business opportunities.” – Alonzo Mejia, Owner, Cash Register Resources

“Very well-run experience for the vendor. That is rare.” – Bridget Blecher, VP of Partnerships, Logic Controls 

“I enjoyed the boardroom format.” – Brett Jeffry, Channel Account Executive, Korona POS by Combase
