While attendance was down at NPE in 2009, MBS had a very successful show and came away with numerous leads. "We represent small to medium sized processors throughout North America, and a large percentage of NPE attendees fit this bill," said MBS founder Terry Minnick. "This was the perfect venue to showcase our consulting services and meet potential clients. It was also an excellent way to get the word out for our sell-side opportunities. And the good news for us is that it only takes one closed deal and the show pays for itself ten times over." Asked if MBS would be exhibiting at NPE in three years, Minnick replied, "Definitely!"
