Sponsors recognized strong value in the quality of the guest audience which featured 41 first-time guests and their high level of interest in and engagement on tech. Home tech tends to be a small sliver of what other builder trade show and event organizers address, tending to result in low-interest levels in tech among audience members.
 
Sponsors also sang the praises of AE Ventures’ unique hosted event format which features content to focus and inspire attendees and a variety of scheduled, guaranteed engagement options including one-on-one meetings, boardroom presentations to small groups and general session presentations thought leadership before entire guest segments.
