The Audience


Why Attend?
How do we do this you ask, while avoiding all of the noise and distractions of a typical conference?
Simple….The audience.
We’ve focused all of our energy on building a community of the best leaders who are changing the way companies operate, scale and succeed, even when times are tough. The SaaS space is young and collaborative and doesn’t fit into the square box of legacy executive conferences.
- Join a vetted list of your peers of companies scaling from $20M-300M+
- Participate in interactive stage content covering the biggest trends impacting you over the next year.
- Browse a marketplace of 50+ small-group, executive braindates to deep dive on the most pressing challenges.
- Seamlessly find the right people to meet with all based on your goals for the event and using seamless industry-leading technologies.
My personal goal is for you to leave the conference with one actionable and strategic insight to make the time investment worth it and a rolodex of industry experts that you can call throughout the year to solve your problems.
Will you join us?
Best,
Fred Rockwell
