I always come away with some new ideas and some new connections that prove fruitful for the future.
The summit gives us a great opportunity, given the attendance, to understand better the partners that we work with today but also to find new partners.
It really opened my eyes as to what Eco Analysts could become.
The ability to … sit and talk about opportunities, understand each other's needs and goals is immensely valuable to us as a company.
The panel discussions … really make you think and spur ideas. Throughout the conference I'm jotting down ideas that I'll take back to our management that may be particular to how we operate, our business development strategy or maybe even a proposal.
You can't beat the Hotel Del in San Diego … right on the beach. The sessions are a lot of fun, very informal, real easy to talk to people.
This is an event you can't miss. Very enjoyable, you learn a lot, and I encourage you to come.
