I felt like the attendees were truly authentic and real in sharing their successes and struggles. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. That was certainly welcomed by an introvert like me. The ELX team did a fantastic job of making us feel special and welcome. The partners did not try to sell and were insightful to talk to. The accommodation was top notch and the event was very well planned. Through the event I have certainly built new connections that I plan on keeping in touch with."
