And we’re excited to see where things go with the brands we connected with. Meetings booked, relationships started, momentum unlocked. Thank you, London. Until next time “

The atmosphere has been fantastic, the organization seamless, and everything has gone perfectly for us throughout the day. We’ve had so much positive engagement that we’re already certain we’ll be back next year — no doubt about it!
