What People Say About the Summit

Here is what past Summit participants said about their experience…
- “They are the best conferences that I have been to in the over 40 years of my career!”
- “I loved it! Very well organized. It was my first Summit, and from the beginning right up to the end today, it was very enjoyable and very nice to meet a lot of the people looking for the same experience and networking.”
- “Our team shared notes from the Pre-Summit courses and notes from the best practice sessions. Great camaraderie among our team and other Summit attendees, and the networking was impressive.”
- “I brought home a full notebook from the track’s sessions—remarkable leaders and speakers. We’re implementing takeaways from Pre-Summit courses, track sessions, and keynote speakers.”
- “I think the Summit is absolutely awesome. I had a great time. Learned quite a bit of stuff. Networking with hundreds of different people, with what they do and what works for them, and what’s not working for them, and finding out that our problems are not just our problems. Most everybody is going through some of the same things.”
That’s just a sample of the praise Summit attendees have for their experience at the Summit.
