"I’ve solved problems at the one-on-one sessions; There are a lot of sharp minds in there and—without the pressure of a sales pitch—it’s a relaxed way to get caught up, learn about something new, and see what else is out there. I actually look forward to them!"
Corey Fram"1:1s are a great way to discover emerging tech that helps us work smarter, not harder. They’re a no-pressure way for us to connect with solution providers outside of the typical workday when taking sales calls is challenging, at best. I leave with a menu of options from companies I already have a baseline level of trust in, knowing that NYSTIA has vetted them in advance."
Cassandra Harrington"The one-on-one sessions provide a great opportunity to engage directly with the tourism service providers. It is time well spent!”
Lucy Redzeposki“These one-on-one sessions help me build relationships with people who have tools that allow me to deliver results. I use the time to seek out new connections and ideas, and to find out what’s new with current collaborators. They are always fun and informative…and you make new friends.”
Lisa Berger"The one-on-one sessions effectively tackle challenges among a gathering of clever tourism partners. Free from the weight of sales pitches, they offer a friendly way to stay informed and learn about up and coming insights, allowing me to explore new opportunities."
