What our sponsors have to say...“The Summit was a very productive use of our resources as a sponsor.

The panels were informative with a relevant variety of topics and the event itself was well orchestrated. Looking forward to next year!” - Chris Hunt, Swrve

“I love the intimacy of it. I’ve had a lot of really great conversations. Being a sales professional, lots of times I have to seek out those conversations, but I found that lots of folks were coming to me trying to understand best practices and what are some of our clients doing. So it’s been a lot of fun.” - Nick Fidler, Fiksu

“We had a great conversation with a group of retailers and restaurateurs...I think it was a really great intimate setting that people could just share ideas and share problems and solutions.” - Margie Kupfer, 3Cinteractive

“It was a very fantastic conference that put together very key stakeholders in the proximity and mobile marketing space. Buyers and sellers. It was really fantastic.” - Devon Wright, Turnstyle Solutions

“Sponsoring a Brain Exchange table at CONNECT 2014 was a home run for us. The conference was the perfect size and format for cultivating personal connections with merchants we met there. Since then, we have had meaningful conversations with nine restaurant chains that were represented at our table. Three of them are now clients and we are nearing deals with four others.” - Jeremy Theisen, Punchh
