2009 ANT+ Symposium a 'Connected Success!' 
ANT+ members from around the world attended the 2009 ANT+ Symposium in Kananaskis, Alberta October 5 – 8. With a focus on the opportunities available with ANT+ interoperability, over 100 delegates and invited guests contributed to this year’s ‘Connected Success.’
This is what some of our attendees had to say:
Paolo Brugnoli - Cosmed
“ANT is an interesting, innovating and effective technology that helps our companies to design products that are better and easier to use. Participating in the symposium is absolutely mandatory for anyone seriously considering adopting this technology. Meeting people from different business areas (medical, sport, consumer…) is very stimulating.”
Callum MacGregor - Cardiosport
“A quick message to say thanks for a stunning symposium. I was very, very impressed with what the Dynastream teams have achieved both technically and commercially plus the even organisation was outstanding. I really get the impression that ANT+ technology has reached the tipping point and this has been achieved during a global recession, so when the recovery comes, well, the sky’s the limit.”
Armin Blaha - Spantec
“We fully support the concept of the added value due the interoperability of all ANT+ devices. Specially for our new product, the intelligent Residence, the concept of simply integrating new devices by just implementing the specific device profiles is just great. After using the Ant technology for over 1,5 years now, I have to say it was just the right choice for our company to choose ANT as the No1 low power wireless protocol.
The Symposium turned out to be the perfect B2B platform for us to share the technology with others and open up new market opportunities. The very long travelling defiantly paid off and we for sure will attend next years Symposium.”
Maher Khoury - HMM
“I think every thing was perfect.”
Siegfried Ritter – SPORTident
“I am new with the ANT project and I am very pleased with my first contact with the ANT team and the ANT+ user community. The conference was well organized and the overall climate inspiring. I was especially encouraged to see and meet a larger group of participants coming from companies of our size. This is definitely a true ANT+ value.”
Stan Brajer - Garmin
“The symposium was really beneficial and the networking proved to be a good chance for some 'face to face' time. The overall impact on increasing future business opportunities should be realized in the near future.”
Johann Krocza – knowledgepark
“Attending the Symposium was valuable as Updates on the most recent developments, networking with other companies in the field; face to face is still the better method to do it than via e-mail or chat. And apart from ANT being an exciting wireless standard ANT+, gives better support than others.”
Jason Tillinghast – Timex
“Considering the direction that we wish to go forward in our product lines, ANT is integral to our products. Attending the symposium is one of the most important aspects of being a member. It allows for in face, one on one communication and introductions that just don’t happen the rest of the year.”
Neil Szuminsky - LifeChek
"ANT+ delivers now what others can only promise, it offers a low power but extremely versatile wireless link. The ANT+ Alliance Symposium offers an unparalleled forum for technical information and enhancing business development for its members."
