OUR CULTURE“I cherish the Naturally Bay Area community…its like packing up the energy and excitement of Expo West and bringing it home with you to enjoy with Bay Area neighbors for rest of the year.”
“I’ve never felt so welcomed walking into a networking event by myself…I didn’t know anyone in the industry when I attended my first NBA event, but within 20 minutes of being there, four different people went out of their way to introduce me to someone with interests overlapping with mine. I look forward to paying that forward.”
