"UNLEASH is a really unique event. It's the kind of event that gathers a whole group of different people, personalities and experience levels and allows people to get together and communicate and share stories. For me it's a sense of community."
Kelly Parke

"I've enjoyed meeting other people that are using Mediasite, looking at different applications, so that it gives you new ideas to go off and practice in your own environment, not to mention the wonderful food and the staff that's been very supportive."
James Craig
University of Maryland Dental School
"I was able to gather so many contacts, so much valuable information. I learned so much. We even called folks that we met last year to see if they were coming this year so we can get together and talk, sharing resources that I normally would not have been able to."
Jeff Baxter
Memphis City Schools
"What amazes me about UNLEASH is that top to bottom Sonic Foundry is here. You have the CTO, you have the CEO who are here rubbing elbows with all the users… It is interesting to me to see the interaction between users and how interested the Sonic Foundry staff is in what the users have to say."
Bob Hillhouse
University of Tennessee
"I'm thrilled to be here because I've looked at all the sessions, and I'm actually torn between a couple of them because I'd like to go to both. I'm really happy to hear they are being recorded, and I can actually see both. I'm very excited to go talk to some of the gurus at the table in terms of asking some specific questions that I have and that our group I think would benefit from knowing the answers to."
Jane McKenzie-White
Johns Hopkins University
"This is such a new technology that those of us who are using it really get a chance to bond at this conference and share our experience with each other. I think that’s extremely valuable. It was a terrific experience for me to not only learn a lot more about the product and get a better comfort level with the technical side of things, but also really to network with the other users. I’ve made some great contacts here and we were in touch with each other after the conference."
Jodi Fox
Northwestern University
"My expectations are to see where Sonic Foundry's going to take Mediasite into the future, and based on what I've heard in the short time that we've been here, it sounds extremely exciting."
Patrick Kelly
Prudential Retirement
"We have seen the evolution of Mediasite from version to version, and one of the benefits of that is its not only the product but also the relationship we have made with all of you at Sonic Foundry. To be able to be here and spend a little bit more time face to face is a great opportunity for us. I'm glad that you put this on. I know it is not an easy undertaking, but I think on behalf of all of us that we definitely have to thank you guys."
