Ashley Trüter, traveling from Victoria, Australia, director of Dobeash Investments Pty Ltd:

• "REBOL lets you provide real solutions to real problems at a fraction of the cost and time of more traditional approaches."
• "Those companies that understand the value of effective communication will embrace the future offered by REBOL and the X-Internet, while those that don’t will be left wondering why their competitors are so successful!"

yeksoon, of Neusteps, traveling from Singapore:

• "In 3 years, the X Internet will be more prevalent than the Web of today. Rebol Technologies is the leader in X Internet technology.  Neusteps embraces this ‘disruption’ of the status quo; crossing and conquering the chasm now."

Dr. Ladislav Mecir traveling from the University of Liberec in the Czech Republic:

• "Everything was Magic at the conference, thanks to Steve and everybody helping to organize it! And I *enjoyed* the first non-virtual meeting with Rebols from around the world so much!"

Gabriele Santilli traveling from Italy, winner of "Best technical achievements" award from RT:

Robert Muench, traveling from Germany, x.peers founder:

Scot Sutherlands, business development for REBOL Technologies:

• "REBOL connects directly to our brains.  Collaboration 2004 hooked all the brains together.  Watch out! The REBOLution is here!"

Steve Shireman, eFishAntSea founder, commercializing the X Internet:

• "REBOL purifies the Semantic Web, which was polluted by XML.  There is no need to waste time with the complex goobledy-gook of XML-RPC, SOAP, .NET, J2EE, and Web Services when you have the cohesive X Internet solutions which REBOL provides.  REBOL Technology keeps IT simple!"

Baron R.K. Von Wolfsheild, Scientist, CTO, and Founder of SafeWorlds, responsible for over $1.2 billion in software sales:

• "This is why I’m in the industry...to be around these talented people, simply being...acting, making"

Carl Sassenrath, REBOL founder, keynote speaker:

• "This was the best conference I’ve been to in 10 years. I enjoyed meeting so many great REBOLers after all these years."
