Vanvisa Brown
Head of Marketing at Power2Motivate
It was one of the most useful and unconventional marketing events I have been to this year.
Josh Steimle
CEO at MWI
I had a great time. I was surprised at the quality of presenters and the information I received. I attended a LinkedIn session where I received several actionable marketing ideas I can implement immediately in my business. It was a nice change from many other conferences where you're simply being pitched.
Michiel Den Haerynck
Head of Marketing at Blue Umbrella
The conference provided practical how-to info, high level discussions about marketing and future of marketing and interesting insights from different industries.
