  5. We guarantee memorable stories you’d never expect from a conference. Like the time one delegate took his competitive spirit to a new level during our ball hockey tournament, suffered a head injury, was cabbed to the hospital while I held him whimpering in my arms, had staples put in his skull, and still made it out to the evening networking event. I’ll refrain from sharing the others. For now.
