What They Said About Spark.me

Spark.me is like a ‘Who’s Who’ event! After I presented, I spent the day visiting sites up and down the coast of Montenegro with good friends. It was breathtaking! I originally said “no” to the organizers. I’m glad they changed my mind.

Marvin Liao

Montenegro is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and the Spark.me organizers make sure all of the speakers get to experience what the area has to offer. We spent four days at an beachfront resort, swam in the Bay of Kotor, and went for dinner and drinks in Old Town. I didn’t receive a speaker fee, but I met fascinating people (speakers, organizers, and attendees) in my industry, and already hope to go back. If you get the chance to speak at Spark.me, say YES! You’ll be happy you did.
