We are extremely pleased with and proud of the findings in the evaluation. Our team works tirelessly all year to engage the right stakeholders and improve the overall experience of all our participants. It’s extremely important to us as an organization to ensure that each attendee, whether that is a startup founder, investor, speaker, media, partner or the like, gets the utmost value out of our event as possible,« says Avnit Singh, CEO of TechBBQ, to Grit Daily News.
The evaluation made by IRIS Group clearly supports us in the notion that we, as event organizers, are on the right path.
