What People leaders said
MPL Live was such a great event! I truly appreciate the curation that went into the day — from the marketplace, to the debates and keynotes and beyond. I truly felt so energized through the day.
MPL Live TorontoThe format was great — dedicated time to speak with AI companies about their unique offerings, then structured talks in the afternoon. The free-flow morning let people filter in and gave real opportunity to network and get to know the room.
MPL Live TorontoThe conversations are relevant and smart, from people doing the actual work right now. Daniel and Stephen’s facilitation makes the flow feel natural, like a conversation, weaving in nuggets from other interviews that deepen the learning.
MPL Live BostonLove the energy in the room, the networking, and most especially the talks. It was fun and informative — not an easy feat. I feel energized and challenged to build differently going forward.
MPL Live BostonA great opportunity to build a community of like-minded, forward-thinking people. We each solve challenges in isolation, without all the information — working with a community enables a better response.
MPL Live San FranciscoVery inclusive — it connected 100+ people who were relative strangers into a community. A good mix of 1:1 networking, group chat, and learning, with a strong spectrum of attendees and relevant content for startup HR leaders.
