While Contact.io isn’t directly in our wheelhouse, (With its focus on Pay-Per-Call marketing, outbound contact strategies, and next-gen customer engagement) with so many industry friends and partners in attendance, it’s always a great event for us to be part of.
And while we always love a great industry event, this one was an easy “yes” for us, since several OPTIZMO team members call Denver home. No flights, no jet lag, just great conversations and maybe even some insider tips on the best local spots to grab a drink. 🍻
