We engineer the conversations that create revenue.

Operators don’t want theory. They want outcomes: faster cycles, clearer next steps, real pipeline. Here are three.

Authentic > Transactional.

Five real conversations. Zero drive-bys. GE Solar met regional buyers (Chicago → Michigan) in a pressure-free setting. “Not a booth shuffle real engagement that turned into partnerships.”

Tim Magner
Commercial Leader — GE Solar

Fewer People. Better Meetings.

Smaller room, deeper talks, organizers who make the intros that matter. “Left with follow-ups already booked and real relationships not a stack of cards.”

Matthew Sheesby
Senior Director, Strategic Relations — RC Cubed

Better Conversations = Better Pipeline.

Time with the right buyers beats “more leads.” Pre-set 1:1s + context from talks + relaxed meals = qualified follow-ups. “Fewer, higher-quality leads and they convert.”

Ken Stolman
Chief Sales & Marketing Officer — MPC Energy
