One and only Saas conference founders should visit
You NAILED IT!
I have to share, that your conference is one of the best I attended. It's not about the quantity of people you meet, but the quality. You get an incredible crowd there and the conference was packed with incredible stories and data.
WOW !!!
Things I Loved:
- - Dinner and your charismatic way to connect and introduce people is incredible
- - Conference - and agenda - speakers and their stories
- - Questions you ask people responses
Things it I would recommend that could make it even better (ideas for next time)
- - Get people to do share images of the conference - so we can all promote it via Social Media (Make hashtags, sharing on FB, IG, etc)
- - Play music between speakers - short clips - (I guess you have to additional person)
- - Ask people for "Testimonial" at the end of the conference (for your next conference marketing)
- - Sell next year conference tickets during this conference (I would buy it if it was available)
I appreciate the invite and looking forward to the next one.
