"The attendees are what make or break these sorts of events - that was the main reason I attended the RTC Summit. The event did not disappoint: it had just the right people. I was also really impressed that the event had a very collaborative feel. This was one of the best conferences I’ve attended in a while." - J. Peter Dahm Sustainability Director, Operations and Natural Resources, Business Operations and Supply Chain Cargill
