This was my first time attending and I had a great time! The overall logistics were excellent – everything felt so organized and well thought out. Can’t wait to attend more!
I continue to be so impressed with how personalized this event is, feels like a true community and the range of topics is wonderful!
I waited years to actually attend a Summit and finally had opportunity this year. So worth it. So much useful information and networking opportunities.
I loved this sustainability theme overall. I really liked hearing this theme in addition to the‘activist’ sections.
It well-represented the range of perspectives on sustainability from across the value chain, from small to large scale producers, input suppliers and retailers, etc.
All in all, really appreciated the format—it’s a jam-packed 1.5 days of really good contentand networking opportunities. Thank you!
