If you didn't come, you missed something. If you did come, you know that you have to come again.
The who's who of the SaaS world is here. We feel like we're amongst our people. This is the prime event for anybody in SaaS.
This is a really cool event for us because it helps us connect with the companies we're already working with, but also helps us get out in front of companies that we haven't spoken to yet and develop those partnerships even further.
Coming to a place like this where everybody wants to collaborate, it just kind of fits with our core brand message. We've come across over 100 people and we've done a lot of demos for them. So it's been a lot of really good exposure for us.
It's kind of great to come and take the pulse of, like, what people are thinking about, what kinds of challenges they're facing.
We've connected with a number of companies from across the world. We've also had a lot of fun at the events in the evenings. Sort of good mix of business and pleasure.
Really putting yourself out there and being vulnerable. People know that you make mistakes and you spend all day on the floor, you know, trying to sell, but then you can get that time to genuinely connect with somebody. That's when it actually is valuable.
Fantastic leads coming out of this conference. The people here are founder, co, founder level. This is awesome. I mean, it's just like this amazing show with just all SaaS founders and co founders. The ROI is unquestionable. Can't wait to come back next year. We couldn't find a better conference that works for us.
Jason is our homeboy. This is our second time and we'll be back a third year.
