With no vendor presentations, everyone was passionate about their subject – amazing difference from other conferences.

Greatly exceeded my expectations. I will find a way to justify the expenditure to attend another one of the Tech Forward events.

I always bring something back from the conference that makes the trip well worth my time.

Great conference, well thought-out and the food was amazing. As was the PARTY!! Thank you

All sessions were beneficial, and I really enjoyed being able to network with other individuals in my field. This was the best opportunity I’ve had to meet true peers that work in non-profits in similar roles to me, and it was very rewarding to be in a position to network and hear what other agencies do.

It was wonderfully intimate and hope it stays that way for future conferences

One of the best conferences I’ve attended thus far!

Outstanding experience! The Second Line was SO cool! Great info, great people, great food = a great time!
