What’s the C2 Club?
Where do you go during breaks, down time and after hours? The C2 Club. We want you to take advantage of every minute during the conference. So the C2 Club is the place to network with speakers, sponsors and other participants. The Club features corporate and vendor products and services, demonstrations and product samples. Most of all, it’s where you make valuable connections between and after scheduled sessions. |
