"At ADVANCE I met tons of interesting folks, listened to some world class panels, and even got to share some of my own team's experiences driving performance on Snap Inc. To top it all off, I was over the moon to meet some famous Olympians backstage (I literally couldn't speak when I met Mallory Swanson in-person) !"
"It was great to hear how other teams are using Smartly—hearing directly from other clients was the highlight of the day and gave us fresh ideas for features we haven’t explored!"
