Key Quotes:

• “I tried to figure out how I could create the customer journey so that as somebody walks through the exhibit, they walk through the customer journey, and they experience a technology that they would use at that point in time.” - Jason Cass
• “I think that that part of being open to understanding who you are and what you do is not giving yourself too hard a hard time when you make those mistakes, but just trying to learn from them.” - Ryan Hanley
• “I tell every vendor to IndieTech that I'm on, I'm doing this for you. And I tell it to every one of them. I don't have a dog in the fight. I don't have a tech company...we need a place where you can go.” - Jason Cass
