THE RESULTS
An epic milestone for K2 that put us on the map in the technology industry, or shall I say quadrant.
We started out with a goal of 150 attendees, expecting even less, and came in at over 400 registrations. The impact of this event spanned all departments in K2, our external presence and marketing channels.
We garnered attention in the industry and, within a year, were placed on the Gartner iBPMS Magic Quadrant and raised over $150 million in investment funding.
