Yes, many times. Did you go this year?

Just looked it up: looks cool, but do they have agency voices/speakers, or is it all brands with agencies left out? Basically: is it worthwhile for biz dev or just education?

I’ve made solid connections there the last couple of years.. if you’re into using events as a BD tool its for sure worth it.. plus it’s just a way different experience than other conferences /summits.
