Past Events
“Even just at a networking level, [Satell] is really magnificent. It’s always interesting to hear the kind of collective wisdom that comes out of the groups and what different companies are doing... You hear an idea or two and you say, huh, that’s something that we can certainly think about and incorporate ourselves.”
