WHY ATTEND?

Vertex isn't SaaStr, or Money20/20. And that's the point.

Aside from being free to attend (no begging your boss to approve a big expense), we designed Vertex to cut through the noise. Instead of endless fluff from speakers, hear from operators who are in the trenches everyday. Instead of a crowd where sales reps outnumber your peers, know every attendee is vetted and there for a reason.

It's an event and community you'll want to be a part of.
