As we eagerly anticipate this two-day event, we are excited to share details about our team members who will be attending and highlight a special episode of our Actionable Insights podcast featuring CJ President Paul Tibbitt.
However, before we dive into the conference itself, let’s first take a closer look at the exclusive Gen3 networking event, PareshConnect, scheduled on the eve of the conference. Presented in partnership with Mobavenue Media, SitePlug, and Ibotta, Inc., this event promises to be a night of connection, collaboration, and celebration.
Returning to the Wildcat Lounge in Santa Barbara, prepare to be amazed by the talents of magician Max Zawacki and serenaded by the soulful sounds of saxophonists Justin Ward. Also included in the line-up is the excellent DJ Matty Matt who will be crafting the soundtrack to the evening!
It is an evening designed to leave you with
