We are so grateful and overwhelmed with the response from our talk today at Exhibition Services & Contractors Association (ESCA)’s Educational Conference.

We’ve done dozens of these talks but this crowd not only embraced the ideas but were implementing them in real time.

After the talk, many of them showed us real conversations, ideas, workflows, etc kickstarted by what they heard us talk about on stage.
