Each day it was a major decision to decide which course to take, which private Vendor Suite Demo to sign up for, should I take in a lecture or reserve a time with a vendor for a one-on-one; and then asking myself, "How will I ever fit everything I desire into my schedule?"

The networking at Symposium has provided me with contacts and resources that have proven invaluable to me as my job has developed and evolved. The willingness of attendees to share their experiences and knowledge has gotten me through many problems and issues I felt unprepared to face.

I made my way to Symposium expecting the same thing I had experienced at every other industry conference attended: I would learn a little and maybe meet one or two people to network with. The general atmosphere would be impersonal and cold; the networking events would leave something to be desired; and I would be extremely happy when it was time to leave.

From the moment I arrived at Symposium, my expectations were exceeded. The educational sessions were not only informative, they were applicable; the networking events were productive and fun the general atmosphere was warm and encouraging; and the quality of the attendees was unforgettable. I left the Symposium with new knowledge, friends, an enlightened attitude, and recharged enthusiasm.

I've been extremely privileged to attend the last 14 symposiums and can say, without a doubt, that this group is unique in so many ways. I cherish BFMA in many ways from the experience, the networking, and the close friends that I've met along the way.

I've attended conferences and meetings in the past which were a total waste of time. Symposium, however, gets an A++. I was pleasantly surprised to find great people, a real sense of camaraderie and a Symposium full of valuable information. The course content and variety was outstanding. I learned a great deal, met some really nice people and look forward to attending in the future.

As a newcomer to the BFMA Symposium, I found it very informative and also a great deal of FUN. I never knew how many people existed in the Forms World. Thank you to everyone for making me feel part of the group. Hoping to see all of you at the next Symposium!!

This symposium continues to grow in order to meet the systems needs of Corporate America.  What I get out of Symposium year after year is not just the information collected at all the professionally administered courses but from meeting and interacting with individuals who (in many cases) are on the leading edge of systems and technology.

This was a great Symposium... From the basics to web migration to product demos, there truly seemed to be something for everyone.

Congratulations on a very successful Symposium. This was my first year attending and I found it very educational. As a vendor, it provided me with an invaluable opportunity to understand the key issues my customers face and what they need in order to make their lives easier.

Symposium feeds the brain, exhausts the body and rejuvenates the spirit. The questions make us think, and the answers make us listen. I am so impressed by the professionals of BFMA...

Symposium, as usual, was a resounding success. Once again the basic issues were addressed for the new user, yet at the same time veteran attendees were able to find information that was vital to their responsibility to deliver forms and records in this electronic era. From Basic Forms Analysis and Redesign to Electronic Forms: Solutions That Work, plus a panel discussion on Records Management for Electronic Forms, all aspects of forms management were covered.

I had a great time at Symposium and I want to thank BFMA and pass on to everyone my appreciation for everything that was done to make it all enjoyable. I can't forget the food either...my mouth is still watering thinking about the Filet Mignon that we had on President's night. You know, I thought my coworkers were going to duct tape my mouth shut because I could not quit talking about Symposium!! Well, enough is enough. Thanks again!

I heard many comments from new and old alike regarding the high quality of classes offered. My co-worker learned a great deal and had a blast doing it. She is hooked on Symposium just like I was after my first one, not only for the education but for the terrific people you meet and the friends you make.

...last year Rob Barnett remarked that effective forms professionals had the interests of the end user in mind all the time; they are "people" persons. He said that what made Symposium succeed the way it does, is that you have 500 "people" persons interacting with one another. It works for me.

Those who attend BFMA's Symposium and comparable events of other groups claim we are tops in education and personal communication between all attendees.
