It's an amazing place for sellers who want to learn and grow. New techniques, new strategies for improving your ranking, how you can remove some negative reviews, SEO hacks, a little bit of TikTok, and of course just meeting people, meeting other sellers. It's a very good and open atmosphere here.

It's been a great experience, more than what we expected. Met some great people, some great names in the industry, learned a lot, made some good prospects and potential clients. The people and the environment here is so friendly. We have dinners, we have parties, we hang out and we do the serious talks as well.
