“I think the value of this being a much smaller event is the opportunity to get a little bit more intimate with our peers and have really deep discussions about our challenges and opportunities.”

“It's really focused on learning and not selling. We get to learn a lot from the individuals who are speaking and then we also learn a lot just from networking with peers.”
