Connect Marketplace was such a valuable experience. The one-on-one appointments gave me direct access to qualified leads, and I walked away with several strong potential partnerships I wouldn’t have found otherwise.

I also loved the creative side of it, the activation ideas and engagement strategies sparked fresh approaches I can take back to my clients. I left energized, with both new business leads and actionable ideas I can put to work right away.
