CENTURION AWARD WINNERS "I was completely blown away by the Vendor Showcase. Proforma is always encouraging me to think outside of the box and step out of my comfort zone. I almost walked right past a Vendor because I thought "I don't sell that." Then I saw the $2 million Value Tag and I had to stop. I walked away with great ideas for a customer right by me. I'm so glad I got out of my comfort zone." — Michael Barclay, Proforma Shout Marketing, Niagara Falls, ON

"The Creative Services session was awesome, and the [LinkedIn/Facebook Workshop: Get More Social to Get More Sales] session was phenomenal. I’ve learned so much.

I definitely plan on attending the 2013 Convention." — Sue Turner, Proforma Image Branding, Castle Rock, CO
