What Past Attendees Are Saying

Real Experiences. Real Takeaways.


"At [last year’s] conference, someone approached me after my session with a question, and we ended up brainstorming new ways of doing things together. It’s moments like that—when you find common challenges and start co-creating solutions—that really show the power of this community. You can connect with people on LinkedIn or through referrals from 12twenty, and I absolutely recommend doing that. But coming here in person? That’s where the real value is. I'm so glad I made the trip—absolutely worth it."
