"GasPedal's dinners are one of the best things we sponsor. You continue to attract attendees of the highest caliber. The contacts we make at this dinner are invaluable." – Mark Oster, Partner & Leslie Baker, Marketing Director, Grant Thornton

"Thanks for the great event. Our sponsorship of the Feast for Smart Marketers put us in front of a very high quality audience and resulted in numerous meetings. We expect several of these new contacts will turn into clients." -- Josh Glantz, Vice President, Business Development, ePrize

"GasPedal's event was unique, lively, and effective. They brought together a fascinating mix of senior executives from companies that we could do business with. They also created an environment where sponsors get proper attention and visibility." -- Michael Bernstein, Partner, Geller & Co., a leading provider of finance and accounting outsourcing services.

"GasPedal's dinners are wonderful marketing opportunities. The energy is fantastic, the guests are top-tier, and it's a great place to build relationships. Plus, unlike at many other events, sponsors are treated like stars and get solid promotion throughout the evening." -- Geoff Ramsey, CEO & Co-Founder, eMarketer

"Sponsoring GasPedal's dinners has been a consistent and reliable source of deal flow and access to new clients. The quality of the attendees is stellar. It's a good use of your time and money." -- Alan Bernstein, Partner, Carter, Ledyard & Milburn

"I've sponsored five GasPedal dinners over the years because they provide real opportunities for new business and quality referrals, and because they are effective and fun. The events consistently have delivered people who are smart, successful, energetic and experienced, and who appreciate the value of professional services from law firms like Heller Ehrman. GasPedal does an extremely good job of ensuring that each sponsor is well-promoted and has the attention of the guests." -- Sal Vitiello, Partner, Heller Ehrman

"Most event sponsorships get lost in the clutter of everything else going on. Not so with GasPedal, where there are limited sponsorships, limited sales pitches, and qualified prospects to appreciate that fact! Sponsoring a GasPedal event offers a unique opportunity to get your message out in a non-salesy way. Lively discussions and camaraderie abound, and the low-pressure marketing environment makes it easier for your message to get through to the people it fits." -- Jennifer Wilson, V.P. Marketing, Return Path

"We have found sponsorship of the GasPedal dinners to be worthwhile. It's an enjoyable way to get our company's name and services out in front of a key group of tech entrepreneurs. It's also led to new business that more than paid for the cost of the sponsorship." -- Lloyd P. Trufelman, President, Trylon Communications, Inc.
