Being able to sit down with key industry individuals who can make quick decisions on the spot and talk very pointedly about what you offer is pretty awesome.
The opportunity to have one-on-one conversations in a smaller format gives us the time to really have those meaningful conversations and draw the threads that were brought up in the general sessions through and into our business.
We’ve been able to make so many connections to the channels we want to be in and the right people we want to meet. It really blown us away.
