Similar panel was successful last year

I know I'm biased cause I'm on the panel :-)

That said, we ran a similar panel last year that was successful and had a lot of good feedback from the attendees and participants. It was one of my favorite sessions to be a part of.

I just love the idea of a panel and I bet this is going to be very insightful, will be there :)
