TESTIMONIALS

This is what a few of our 2024 attendees had to say:-

This is a must-attend event for any specialized publisher who wants to avoid blind spots and find new ways to grow profitably.

I've been to dozens of different conferences but Renewd serves the audience better than any I've seen. It's for the people, by the people, etc.

The Renewd community is a great one for learning about what's working (and what's not) at similar businesses, discover what's next on the horizon and connect with really smart and helpful people.

This is my fourth Summit, and they keep getting better! Each one offers valuable strategic and tactical insights that I can bring back to my team.

The speakers and attendees are generous in sharing their experiences and advice. I wish I had found this conference four years ago. What I learned will make a difference in my success in the coming year.
