I hadn't been to HEC Innovate for nine years. I avoided them due to what I thought was a dog and pony show to sell us additional products. I was wrong and regret I never made it back until now. This was the best conference I have ever attended, and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the HEC staff, training and networking with my peers. I will try to make every conference from now on. And I will encourage everyone that touches HEC to attend a conference at least once (if not more).” Wayne Butt Fifth Third Bank
