What people are saying

Almost every single talk at Affect Conf could be a keynote. The quality, the diversity, the depth, the message.

Had a grand time in PDX last week at the Affect Conf. Left feeling inspired and ready to get back to work making change happen.

Thankful Affect Conf has childcare for my 5 year old. ‘Work’ became family time too.
