Testimonials
Why they keep coming back.
We really appreciated the quality of the audience and seniority level. Our team made some amazing connections with enterprise accounts we’ve been trying to break into.
The topics were well selected and the mix of panels and roundtables provided opportunities to engage in problem solving with fellow leaders.
DSC has delivered millions in pipeline for me over the years and has been a central part of my strategy and plan for reaching the data science, ML, and AI community.
Thank you for hosting such a fantastic event. I truly enjoyed it and gained valuable insights into the latest trends and challenges in AI from industry leaders.
Outstanding. Many diverse perspectives and interesting insights.
We’ve heard great feedback on COLLIDE from the team, with one member saying it was the best event he’d ever been to at Plotly!
I’ve heard nothing but great things about this event. I want to sincerely thank you for overdelivering.
We had a great experience this year. The location of the event was fantastic, and the attendees were great. We’re looking forward to following up with several of them.
