The conference also facilitated coffee breaks, lunches, and even a gala reception evening in order to facilitate face-to-face networking opportunities with for executives to meet with their peers and industry pioneers.

Unlike many other conferences, iStrategy (http://www.istrategyconference.com) believes that quality, not quantity, is what is most important. By limiting the number of attendees to 300 senior marketers, the conference added value by ensuring a more intimate and interactive experience.

David Chalmers, former European Brand Manager for Cisco, said of the event, "[iStrategy is] the best digital conference in Europe."
