Based upon your application and then a selection process that you drive, we develop a custom agenda that introduces you to the peers and solution providers you are interested in meeting, and who are interested in meeting with you. This personalized schedule is two days of interactive and topical meetings, meals, and social functions. As a result, you will learn more in 48 hours than you ever thought was possible!
