The networking environment was a relationship-building opportunity.... It was clear that everyone there had a purpose and wanted to not only learn, but share with colleagues and support each others’ efforts

Using my new C-Suite language, I controlled a two-and-a-half hour meeting at a 350-life group today, our first time meeting. Seven stakeholders in the room, all the stakeholders were there.

I attended ASCEND two years ago and within 10 minutes knew I had found my answer. They have completely transformed my business. Since then, I've gained my largest account and have developed a direct contracting contract with a local hospital system.

"I was about to try to sell my agency just before attending the ASCEND conference in January 2016. ASCEND changed everything for me. Since ASCEND I now am at a 25% increase in revenue this year over last and have no intention of selling anytime soon."

I enjoyed every moment and cannot recall the last time I engaged so freely with colleagues, all who were friendly and very open to sharing and helping.
