Summit Locations


Thanks

That all makes sense.

Any of those options are going to start to be cold in Oct.

I reject the idea that Boston is a tech hub like Silicon Valley, but that's
because I reject the idea that anywhere is like 'the valley'.

I'd also like to up vote Toronto.

Thanks again for keeping us in the loop.
