“RapidFire Tools is pleased to be a 6-year platinum sponsor of SMB TechFest. This is a great event that gives the IT service providers an opportunity to rub elbows with national vendors, while also profiting from peer interactions.” A 4x a year sponsor.

“Being able to participate at SMB TechFest has allowed Microsoft the ability to interact with partners that we normally don’t have the opportunity to speak with. This has opened up new doors for both the partners and our Microsoft team. Our annual investment of time and resources can be limited, but the SMB TechFest is one place that we know we can get a good return on our investment.”

“A great event and a great crowd. We were non-stop talking to partners at our booth in the Expo Hall. This wasn’t our first SMB TechFest and it certainly won’t be our last. We are already seeing traction on new leads.”
