Of course these are my recommendations - there are many others to meet with as well. You can download a list of all companies and attendees through the DealCenter - this way you can plan your meetings more effectively and ensure you get deals done. And if you're not going to ITW (a. you will be missed, b. still time to plan) you can request a meeting with these companies directly by visiting their websites. Hope to see you in DC - May 24-26, 2010!
