Attending the Chief of Staff Connect conference was a highly valuable way to connect with others in the role. It was a practical, engaging way to learn from and connect with the best. I not only left with a treasure trove of best practices but also gained a network of like-minded peers.

Overall great conference. I most appreciated the time to network and learn from fellow CoS's, particularly the day 1 problem solving session.
