OUR PARTNERS
We are so proud of the partners that we have joining us to make Gem Conference 2019 an incredible experience for our attendees. When we were looking at who we wanted to partner with it was important that their values aligned with ours: modern businesses that offer opportunity for all to grow, prosper and engage with.
PRESENTING SPONSOR: HEART & CROWN
