NOTABLE QUOTES

· When you're at work, you should have the same technology experiences that you have when you're at home.

· I think I learned as much just from the conversations that I had with people, like over lunch over drinks at dinner as much as I did from the amazing speakers they had on stage

· It's great to see that evolution, and that where we are now that everyone's kind of companies are being forced to be more authentic, individuals are being more authentic.
