"I was so pleased with the quality of the conference. I have been to other IT conferences before where each session seemed to be either a sales pitch or a case study with no applicable lessons. TechLearn was the opposite. The sessions were thoughtful, and the presenters were able to give insights that can be used across varying industries. The event schedules were well-planned with just the right amount of time for breaks. It is clear this is a conference with learning as the focus. There were ample opportunities to network and share insights and problem-solve." Maggie McCreary, Training and Development Specialist I, Shelter Insurance Companies
