High-value experiences, actionable insights
I've been to many conferences in my career and this is one of the best ones I have ever attended! Each session was relevant and with each one I was able to pull some ideas that I can try in my workplace. I also enjoyed having time to network and enjoy one another's company. It was well done in every aspect from food, sessions to room set-up!
