“This is a conference of leaders and decision makers in our industry. We get down to real topics and real problems in our industry very quickly. There isn’t a lot of ego here, people are very willing to share their mistakes in order to help others.”
“All the topics we discussed today were fresh, engaging, and completely applicable to what we do on a day to day basis. This is not like other conferences.”
“I’ve gone to the big conferences and they are not like the SONO Symposium. Everyone here is welcoming, open, and collaborative. I benefit more going here than any other conference.”
