2012 Palisade Risk Conference Las Vegas
“Very impressive and good chance to link with colleagues.”
“Learned several things I will be able to take back and directly use.”
“It was a great learning experience.”
“I have been exploring all the buttons in @RISK 6 and am very impressed with the capability.”
“Great conference and very useful for a new user like myself. This saved me a lot of time in climbing the learning curve.”
“It was a great conference that was very well organized. The round tables were great. As always, I would highly recommend your conference to others. Lastly, @RISK 6.0 and the interface with MS Project is great.”
“We saw and discussed methods that directly apply to our problems, and learned to build upon them to come up with solutions.”
“First class! One of the better seminars I have gone to. Excited about the possibilities.”
“Excellent conference. If there are numbers that vary, you should be here.”
“Great conference!”
“My first Palisade conference. I'll be back.”
“It was an outstanding opportunity to update current knowledge about the software.”
“Conference was very useful to improve our integrated quality management system. Statistical, stochastic and other quantitative methods are used, at the organizational and project levels, to predict future quality and process performance.”
“Great conference!”
2012 Palisade Risk Conference Sydney
“I found the conference very useful to understand the trends and advances in risk analysis and Palisade software. I also met colleagues with similar interests who I expect to meet again.”
“It was by far the best industry based conference I have attended for a very long time, as it delivered value right through the 2 days.
In particular, I very much appreciated the way that each of the presenters were able to provide a deep dive into the software in a very accessible manner using a variety of application cases. It’s one thing to have a technically brilliant operator but it’s quite something else to have one who can communicate across all levels as well. This was a highlight of the conference.
Intelligent decision-making is more than a consensus of opinion if a company is to compete successfully. The huge range of opportunities presented by Palisade’s experts in such an accessible manner showed how easily achievable this is.”
2012 Palisade Risk Conference London
cAnother great conference - well done! It's always a stimulating and thought-provoking experience, and great hospitality.”
“The Unilever keynote and rollout story brought together a very relevant and current business issue with the tools and techniques. Also very informative on best practice.”
“The conference provided me with food for thought in order to provide better solutions to prospects and clients.”
2011 Palisade Risk Conference Las Vegas
“The conference far exceeded my expectations. I walked away from almost every case study and software presentation with little bits of insight that I’ve already begun using to enhance my own models.”
“The conference was very good and quite comprehensive.”
“I really enjoyed the opening sessions.”
“The Las Vegas conference was great and I brought back many new ideas and insights on how to solve my company’s challenges!”
“I got many ideas of how to apply stochastic modeling in ways I’d never even thought of.”
“I came away from the conference very satisfied. The conference empowered me with future skill sets, allowed me to observe how other companies are using the tools, and I even made some very valuable contacts.”
“Excellent conference. Congratulations on your company!”
“Strongest slate of presenters yet!”
“Great conference. As a new user of @RISK, the conference was
an eye-opener on the tool, the value it provides, and how to make
use of it. Also learning more about the use of risk management
practices was helpful. Thank you!”
2011 Palisade Risk Conference Amsterdam
“The conference provided me with food for thought in order to provide better solutions to prospects and clients.”
“Excellent conference on a topic which is insufficiently addressed in a lot of project, program, and portfolio environments. The more you learn about this topic, the more you know we have only just begun…”
“Many thanks - Very successful event!”

“Very useful and relevant conference. A good balance between theory and application.”

“I appreciated the networking opportunity with other @RISK users . . . All Michael Rees' sessions as well as Javier Ordóñez’s and Erik Westwig’s were my favorites.”
“The keynotes, case studies and the informative introductory sessions to the specific Palisade analytic software and its many diverse applications were extraordinarily well done. I gleaned a lot from this conference that has taken me time to process fully. The applications within healthcare and biomedical research appear to be a 'no-brainer', for facilitating more efficient and effective movement of various discoveries and innovations forward.”
“I enjoyed meeting the Palisade staff at last week's conference in Jersey City. I found the sessions both interesting and helpful.”
“It was great to attend the Conference, and get to meet the Palisade team. I was very impressed with your product, staff knowledge, and by the conference in general. Congratulations to all of you for putting up a superb event!”

“The last session with Best Practice Principles for Modelling in Excel and @RISK should be a must!”
“I was surprised to see the potential of the DecisionTools Suite that I was not aware of and I am very happy with the changes in @RISK 5.5 that are likely to speed up my work considerably. I can't wait to start working with it.”

“Palisade is leading the way with tools and expertise to enable risk managers across all industries.”
“Ed Biernat’s Six Sigma presentation was absolutely dynamic. Basil Strumborg’s British Hydro case study was an excellent discussion of process to elucidate probability distribution functions from subject matter experts. The facility was outstanding.”
“The conference staff was very helpful, and the participants I met were very interesting.”
2007 User Conference North America

“I just wanted to quickly follow up with you about how much I enjoyed the user’s conference. I really enjoyed it and felt is was very well put together. As someone who attended this on their own budget (and not on a corporate spending allowance), I really felt that I got my money’s worth. I felt like the amount of money Palisade spent on me (meals, handouts, etc.) as an attendee was greater than the conference fee, not to mention the intrinsic value of the presentations, networking, and hands-on-training!”
“Thanks to you and the [Palisade] team. I found the conference to be worthwhile, and I am sure someone from our company will [return next year].”

“The hands-on training from Palisade’s Rishi Prabhakar was a good overview. The case study on wool production using @RISK by Kimbal Curtis was an excellent presentation covering inputs and uncertainty very well. The facilities were excellent. Overall I enjoyed the conference and it was well worth the time and cost to travel.”
“The conference has reinvigorated my enthusiasm for risk modelling and our company’s use of @RISK.”
“The session on selecting the right distribution was interesting and provided me direction for future @RISK use.”

The mix between practitioners, developers and theoreticians such as Paul Wilmott and David Vose were outstanding. I particular liked the relaxed atmosphere and focused objectives of the conference. All in all a conference I definitely would attend again in the future.”
