"It was a good experience meeting and sharing with fellow User Acquisition Managers who are having the same challenges as I am. Some speakers provided a lot of valuable information and other speakers were like role models. The highlight was making a network of service providers and fellow UA managers from around the world. The vibe was great, everyone was a good conversation. Looking forward to the next AGS!"
