This is what attendees are saying

“This is the best conference out there for independent sponsors and one our firm never misses. The speakers are engaging, and the networking is very valuable, especially the speed networking day. We have found pivotal partners each time we attend. This is a must attend event for anyone in the independent sponsor space and can't recommend it enough.”
