What do attendees look for? “In a conference I look for varied topics, interesting speakers and new, innovation. I want to have fun too. Most importantly though, I want the opportunity to network and discuss new concepts with my peers.” Optometrist Shelly Bansal “As well as the obvious value for money, I look for vibrance, energy, excitement and real opportunities to connect with customers. Constant evolution of ideas is key.” Brand Manager, CLs The Delegate The Exhibitor
