It's all over for another year... ish.

The TCT Live show closed it's doors on Wednesday, giving the staff here at Rapid Towers time to briefly reflect on a packed couple of days before we have to start all over again!

I was able to speak with a great many of the TCT Live exhibitors over the days either on their booths, in the aisles or more often than not at the bar. The consensus was that the quality of leads was higher than ever — perhaps not surprising as AM in all guises continues to gain traction — and that the whole event was a success for all involved.

I am in the process of writing up an article on a dental products company that has demonstrated how best to make the most of a show like TCT. They learned of the technologies through the introductory lectures given by Graham Tromans at the show in 2009. They then used the show floor to see all the technologies in action and grill the staff on the minutiae of owning and running each system before opting for the best-fit solution.

They were back on the floor again this year, looking for a new scanning solution to further enhance their offering. 

It's the perfect example of how seeing the technology 'in-the-flesh' really can help to drive ideas forward. The company in question are going from strength to strength having had their inherent capacity released by the enabling technologies they saw at TCT Live.

So how was the show for you? If you came along and something in particular caught your eye I would be thrilled to hear about it.
