“Best ever GSX.”

“Content and emphasis in the message brings me back to first GSM in LV, terrific.”

“By far the best virtual meeting attended.”

Most employee-aware event in the world! I’ve never felt more connected from home.

“This is the most engaged I've been since the virtual format began.”

This year’s GSX was clearly the best event in this format.”

“This was the best Sales kickoff I've ever attended in my 15+ years in sales.”
