“As we host 100+ events a year at Work-Bench, I know how much goes on behind such a well-produced event, end to end—organized comms, beautiful venue, and most important of all—high-quality founders, companies, really thoughtful content and speakers who spoke openly and honestly about what it means to start and scale a company. I even met one of our Work-Bench founders sitting next to her at this event. Cannot recommend this Summit enough!”
