Attendee

It [the Emerge Summit] is best event out there to connect missions with business and was a fabulous opportunity to engage with like-minded people! The sessions were interactive and inspiring with speakers from around the world! I really enjoyed the breakouts to be able to meet people in a more converstational setting. I will be attending again!

Presenter

The Emerge Summit team enabled me to share my story and the response was amazing. The people who attend are not just there to hear someone like me speak, but they really want to meet me and talk with me. I've never spoken at an event that this was the main focus. I am excited for future Summits and meeting more people that can be world-changers!

Exhibitor

At the Marriott hotel, there is a large hallway to set up my booth and with so much networking time interweaved into the schedule of the Summit, it felt like people were at my booth the entire weekend. I was able to sell some products and network with people that I'll be connected with for a long time! It was an experience that I've told many people about and I'll be back!
