Hi Adam,

It came as a surprise to us to see these posts from you but we wanted to apologize for any inconvenience you might have faced and clarify a few points raised in your posts.

Every conference and event that is a for-profit venture works on different business models. Our conference are based on the pillars of networking, learning and recognition. I do understand that you were not impressed but as you have mentioned yourself, we do have a vast majority of attendees who actually thanked us for their experience at the conference. We would have appreciated had you raised your concerns directly with us at the venue or afterwards as customer satisfaction is of paramount importance for us.

The agenda that you have shared in your post was the old one, the updated one with the Show Stopper session was updated on the website on May 24th. We also wanted to share a recording of the showstopper session (that actually happened after lunch between 4pm and 4:50pm) held by a very impactful visually impaired speaker that a lot of people found interesting and inspiring.

We are committed to improving our conference with every passing edition and would like to extend you a free delegate pass for our next event in Las Vegas for you to come attend and share your feedback. We will be in touch with you for the same.

I find that most conferences are a scam and there is a lot of spam that follows this pattern. Many conferences also give you a speaker plac if you sponsor the event.

Wow, this looks scummy. A real shame that honest people end up being sold into this.

Name and shame!
