“It’s a really good event for North America. Beyond the keynotes and presentations, I think it’s a great opportunity to network with industry stakeholders and people we don’t necessarily have many chances to meet face-to-face. For someone who has never been here before, this event is very good because it’s targeted and not overwhelming. The type of attendees here are people who speak the same language, face the same issues, and deal with the same industry challenges—trying to find similar types of solutions. I really like it from that perspective.”
