Great panel. Loved the varied responses from different perspectives. Super informative when getting into incentives, also hearing about the dismal state of pre-sales is helpful. Would love to see a complete show about working with the unions, pitfalls, must dos, signatory, etc. Thanks!

I appreciate you organizing those panels. At the same time, it leaves me wondering if there really is no woman out there in the industry that would have something to say to these topics... I have the feeling that all-male panels should actually be a thing of the past.
