Of course, innovators like NexJ such as SwissQuant and Addativ were there too.

I know, I know… I’m always talking about how it’s the age of the customer and how everything revolves around the customer. Guess what? I don’t just talk about it, I live by it too.

We were joined by senior business and IT leaders from many of our customers from across the globe, across the country, and down the street.
