Testimonials

“The Annual Strategic Meetings Summit is a fantastic forum to learn from industry experts & connect with peers to discuss strategic meeting management & industry trends. The event was incredibly beneficial to enhance my role within my company and worth the investment!”

Katie Koston, Exhibits and Events Manager, GE

“I find these meetings to be on the mark for topics that are top of mind for event professionals. The panels are typically well balanced with people at varying stages of success for the topic being discussed which is helpful. The quality and diversity of meeting/event professionals attending is great which allows for excellent networking and conversations beyond the summit- which is part of the benefit. I also enjoy that the speakers and moderators are engaging and easy to talk to. The smaller group of 80-100 also allows for better networking and conversations. I appreciated the meeting being on a Monday as someone who needs to travel in, traffic is not as bad driving in on Sunday night. David does a phenomenal job designing these summits. I learn something new or find a new ally to help bounce ideas off of at each summit. Thank you and shout out to Mary Ann for having so many resources she could point me to! I also appreciate that these meetings are sponsored to allow attendance for those with lower budgets for PD. It's amazing to have a community of professionals who gather to help each other find new ways to innovate and succeed. Thank you!”
