I would also like to add my voice of appreciation and gratitude. It has
been a relatively short but intensive process, in which several
organizations that have never worked together before, joined forces for
the sake of this Conference.

This collaboration resulted in  a great event. Since last Tuesday we
have been constantly receiving positive feedback from both Israeli
companies as well as American investors.

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for taking part in this
initiative and for your personal contribution to make the two day
conference a success.

I look forward to working with you in the Future.
Warmest regards, Yair
