Dan is amazing! So many great insights!

The masterclass with Dan at Web Summit was a huge success! People stayed well past the planned 45 minutes, with loads of great questions and engagement throughout. After the session, most of the audience came by our stand to chat more with Dan. The masterclass room was completely full - plus a standing audience. Dan was outstanding!
