It sounds a little cheesy, but CMBXP is truly like no other conference I have attended. The curriculum: rich and expansive. The speakers: diverse, and so very generous with their wisdom. The social events: DIVINE. Yet these aspects are not what made the Experience such a unique investment. What is so inspiring is the community and camaraderie that emerged between complete strangers over the course of three (very full) days. Different industries, different walks of life--everyone at different points in their journeys. Yet instantly there was togetherness, and it felt as though we were all marching down the same path, unified in our goals for entrepreneurship. There was conversation and sharing happening in every spare moment and we all shared in the excitement of being a part of this Experience. CMBXP felt more like “camp” than a conference. While each of us left with tons of information and strategies to apply, what I value most from the Experience is the connectedness between peers and the feeling of support from a like-minded community.
