“              I enjoyed the speakers
               and felt both the larger
               sessions and intimate
               sessions were set up
               well, topical and relevant
               to the industry. I attended
               Tech Crunch Disrupt in
               NYC and by far enjoyed
               DIG SOUTH more and
               got more out of it.

             DIG SOUTH was one of
             the most welcoming and
             useful conferences I’ve
             been to. I ran into people
             several times over the few
             days we were together,
             which allowed me to make
             deeper connections that
             continue after returning
             home ... Southern
             hospitality runs deep in
             Charleston – I’m looking
             forward to coming back.
