Stacey Courtney: Collaborative community.

Annarita Montanaro: Hi, everyone. My name is Annarita. I'm from Sardinia from Italy and own an agency, Giglio Service Events. What is my opinion regarding why I choose to be with you, with all of you? It's because, uh we can try to exchange our ideas and be, uh, inspired. Inspire each other. We are our experience and try to do something together. Something very, very important. Something that alone we can't do. Anyway. Thank you. Goodbye.

Chitra Ram: To make waves with all the amazing powerhouses globally.

Paulina Kwasniak : So for me, this is all about supporting each other as women in the industry, learning, voicing our opinions, conversating, conversing with each other and doing business because that's really, really important. I've said it before and I will say it again. Business at the end of the day is something that is crucial, and men have no shame in going straight and talking about business and how this network can help you achieve your business goals, whereas women we feel a little bit shy or we feel that we will come across as materialistic. So I would love this community to learn from men and be very savvy on business goals and business perspectives.

Tammy Wightman: We want to learn more about event technology.

Larissa Schmied: Hi, I'm Marissa. I'm new in the community and want to learn more about how to make events engaging.

Peggy Lamberton: I love Women in #EventTech. It has given me the opportunity of meeting women in event tech all over the world. And every single session has been a master class. Thank you, Stefania. Thank you, Dahlia. Look forward to the next one.

Stefania Conti-Vecchi: Women in Event Tech for me is a global collaboration and learning from each other and supporting each other.

Maggie Hendrickson: Being part of a like minded community.

Dahlia El Gazzar: One word to explain what Women in #EventTech is all about. Epic. Epic connections, epic interaction, epic conversations, epic ideas to steal and, more importantly, epic family and energy that you continue to thrive on no matter where you are in your career and your life. These are the kind of women that you want to lean on the most. Just epic.
