Christopher Byrd, CEO, Evolution1
"The FORUM has been excellent. We have attended all three FORUMs and this by far has been the best to date. As a new technology company that has a new product to bring to the marketplace, this is the perfect venue because it has the broker community and the employer community in one place."
