What would any IDSA conference be without portfolio reviews?

Our goal this year is to maximize the number of one-on-one meetings, and allow the attendees to meet with as many professionals as possible. There will be two full days of portfolio reviews and meetings structured similarly to speed dating.

Please register today to reserve your space.

The INFLUENCE portfolio review is sponsored by Core 77, Garmin
and Martin Logan
